Dear Prof McCloskey,
I just wanted to let you know how much your memoir, Crossing, impacted my life. Your book was assigned for my feminist philosophy class. You allowed me to consider what it is to be a woman in a new and refreshing way. Thank you so much for allowing me to be an observer in your fascinating life.
Many thanks,
Kim Wall

Dear Ms. Wall:
Thanks for your kind remark about Crossing. These are the days of the memoir, which irritates some people—but I think the more we see into each others’ lives the less can we hate. A certain kind of essentialist feminist (Germaine Greer, for example) just HATES gender crossers. I’ve never gotten it, but I suppose if I read a memoir by her I might!
Sincerely,
Deirdre McCloskey
