Requests:  0 Summary:  "The indisputable 'queen of crosswords,' Anna Shechtman published her first New York Times puzzle at age nineteen, and later spearheaded the The New Yorker's popular crossword section. Working with a medium often criticized as exclusionary, elitist, and out-of-touch, Anna is one of very few women in the field of puzzle making, where she strives to make the everyday diversion more diverse. In this fascinating work--part memoir, part cultural analysis--she excavates the hidden history of the crossword and the overlooked women who have been central to its creation and evolution, from the 'Crossword Craze' of the 1920s to the role of digital technology today. As she tells the story of her own experience in the CrossWorld, she analyzes the roles assigned to women in American culture, the boxes they've been allowed to fill, and the ways that they've used puzzles to negotiate the constraints and play of desire under patriarchy. The result is an unforgettable and engrossing work of art, a loving and revealing homage to one of our most treasured, entertaining, and ultimately political pastimes"-- Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hanapepe Public Library Acquisitions --- On Order   in Processing   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Adult New Books 793.73209 Shechtman Sh Checked out 05/17/2024 Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 793.73209 Shechtman Sh Transit   Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Acquisitions --- On Order   in Processing   Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 793.73209 Shechtman Sh Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
