In the 1970s she became a leading political leader and one of the most important heads of the second-wave feminism, the women's rights movement of the 1960s and 1970s. In 1971, Steinem, along with other feminist leaders (including Betty Friedan, Fannie Lou Hamer, Myrlie Evers, and U.S. Representatives Shirley Chisholm and Bella Abzug) founded the National Women's Political Caucus. An influential co-convener of the Caucus, she delivered her memorable "Address to the Women of America."

Fred Moramarco
Dr. Moramarco is a Professor of English at San Diego State and the Editor of Poetry International, an annual journal of new poetry published there. He is the co-author of Containing Multitudes: Poetry in the United States Since 1950 and Modern American Poetry, and co-editor of Men of Our Time: Male Poetry in Contemporary America. ,,I\'ve devoted a lot of my life to poetry. Reading it, writing it, writing about it. In her wonderful novel, \"Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant,\" Anne Tyler writes, \"There ought to be a whole separate language for truth.\" I think there is such a language--the language of poetry. Poems create the miracle of connecting our inner lives. We live in a world where the language of advertising, commerce, and politics are so filled with falseness, deception, and manipulation, that we have an absolute longing to hear words spoken from the heart, with clarity, precision, and authenticity.``

JSJerome David Salinger
Jerome David Salinger (n. 1 ianuarie 1919) este un scriitor american cunoscut cel mai bine pentru romanul De veghe în lanul de secară (în engleză The Catcher in the Rye), o poveste clasică a adolescenței, care a cunoscut o popularitate durabilă de la publicarea ei în 1951. O temă majoră în opera lui Salinger este mintea activă si puternică a tânărului neadaptat și efectul izbăvitor al copilului în viețile unor astfel de oameni. Născut în New York, ca fiu al unui tată evreu și a unei mame de origine irlandeză catolică, Salinger și-a început cariera scriind povestiri pentru reviste din New York. Din perioada de început, mai multe povestiri – cea mai notabilă fiind O zi perfectă pentru peștii banana – au fost remarcate. De asemenea, înainte de a părăsi America pentru a lua parte la război, a publicat două episoade din ceea ce avea să devină De veghe în lanul de secară: Sunt nebun și Ușoară rebeliune în afara Madison-ului (Slight Rebellion Off Madison). A urmat Academia Militară Valley...

JAJohn Ashbery
John Ashbery (born July 28, 1927) is an American poet. He has won nearly every major American award for poetry and is recognized as one of America's most important, though still controversial, poets. In an article on Elizabeth Bishop in his Selected Prose, he characterizes himself as having been described as "a harebrained, homegrown surrealist whose poetry defies even the rules and logic of Surrealism." "No figure looms so large in American poetry over the past 50 years as John Ashbery", Langdon Hammer, chairman of the English Department at Yale University, wrote in 2008. American poet has had a larger, more diverse vocabulary, not Whitman, not Pound". Stephen Burt, a poet and Harvard professor of English has compared Ashbery to T. S. Eliot, the "last figure whom half the English-language poets alive thought a great model, and the other half thought incomprehensible" Ashbery was born in Rochester, New York, and raised on a farm near Lake Ontario; his brother died when they were...
