The Baird Pulitzer Prize Lecture
Every other week, millions read Anna Quindlen’s column “The Last Word” in Newsweek, which offers her perspectives on current events and issues of family, work, education and social justice. While a columnist for The New York Times from 1981-1994, Quindlen became the third woman in the paper’s history to write a regular column for its Op-Ed page, the nationally-syndicated “Public and Private,” for which she was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Commentary. Her work, which includes Object Lessons, A Short Guide to a Happy Life, One True Thing, and Black and Blue, a selection of the Oprah Winfrey Book Club, has appeared on both fiction and nonfiction bestseller lists. Her latest New York Times bestseller is the novel Blessings.
