Novel explores life-changing importance of female friendship
In her first months of college, a young woman has a harrowing encounter with a male student -- and a life-changing one with an older, renowned feminist writer. Meg Wolitzer's "The Female Persuasion" is about friendship, womanhood, ambition, and other issues that are very much of this moment. Wolitzer joins Jeffrey Brown for a book conversation.
