Susan D. Gubar (born November 30, 1944)[2] is an American author and distinguished Professor Emerita of English and Women's Studies at Indiana University. She and Sandra M. Gilbert co-authored the standard feminist text, The Madwoman in the Attic: The Woman Writer and the Nineteenth-Century Literary Imagination (1979) and a trilogy on women's writing in the 20th century.
Career [edit]
Gubar joined the faculty of Indiana University in 1973, at a time when there were three female professors among the 70 in its English department.[1]
Gubar and Gilbert edited the Norton Anthology of Literature by Women: The Traditions in English, published in 1985 (ISBN 0393019403); its publication resulted in both of them being included among Ms.'s women of the year in 1986.[1]
Her book Judas: A Biography, was published in 2009 by W.W. Norton (ISBN 9780393064834).
In December 2009, Gubar retired from Indiana at age 65, due to complications following from a November 2008 diagnosis of advanced ovarian cancer.[1] The "wrenching story" of her subsequent medical treatment led her to write Memoir of a Debulked Woman (2012, ISBN 978-0-393-07325-6).[1]
In 2012, she was awarded the Ivan Sandrof Lifetime Achievement Award of the National Book Critics Circle.[3]
