Feminist author June Rachuy Brindel delves into history and myth in her novels, including the Pulitzer Prize-nominated "Ariadne," seeking to explore the overlooked women's perspective. Born on a farm in Little Rock, Iowa, Brindel earned her B.A. and M.A. from the University of Chicago. She began writing novels somewhat late in life, having held a variety of jobs (including secretary to a poet laureate) while she was younger. While teaching drama at the National Music Camp in Interlochen, Michigan in 1967, she wrote the play "Automaton: King of Machines" for her students to perform. She lives in Wilmette.
