Anna Quindlen was a columnist for the New York Times from 1981 to 1994, becoming only the third woman in the paper's history to write a regular column for its powerful Op-Ed page. In 1992, she won the Pulitzer Prize for Commentary. She left newspapers in 1995 to become a full-time novelist, and was the first writer ever to have books appear in the fiction, non-fiction, and self-help New York Times Bestseller lists. In this recording, Quindlen reads an excerpt from Emma Bugbee, who worked for the New York Herald Tribune for over 50 years. This piece is about the December 1912 suffragist march from New York City to Albany.
