    Extractions: Tillie Olsen's contribution to American life and literature is immense. CSUN faculty, staff and students had the privilege Wednesday of meeting Olsen and hearing her discuss her collection of stories titled "Tell Me A Riddle" and other issues related to writing. Those attending the discussion were treated to Olsen's reading of her poetry and short fiction, her advice for writers, her political philosophy, and her ability to situate herself in and articulate the concerns of the historical moment. The highlight for many in attendance at the discussion was her reading of her poignant poem, "I Want You Women Up North To Know." It deals directly with the upper class's ignorance to the plight of immigrant workers producing the products purchased and prized by the nation's cultural elite. Strikingly contemporary Written in the 1930s, it is strikingly contemporary, as it prefigures current headlines exposing the exploitation of workers in sweat shops. Olsen was born in 1912 and began writing poems, journalism and a novel while attempting to earn a living as a tie presser, meat trimmer, domestic worker and waitress during the Great Depression.

    Extractions: Tillie Olsen BY ANNE-MARIE CUSAC TILLIE OLSEN, THE BELOVED FICTION WRITER, IS SELF-EFFACING IN PERSON. "I haven't published a lot of anything," she says. And she's partly right. Her output has been relatively small. But she makes up for that in quality. Most famous for the short-story collection Tell Me a Riddle (Dell, 1961), Olsen has the ability to imply whole lives in a few sentences. Here the speaker of "I Stand Here Ironing" looks back on the difficulties of young, single motherhood: "She was a miracle to me, but when she was eight months old I had to leave her daytimes with the woman downstairs to whom she was no miracle at all, for I worked or looked for work and for Emily's father, who "could no longer endure" (he wrote in his good-bye note) "sharing want with us." "I was nineteen. It was the pre-relief, pre-WPA world of the depression. I would start running as soon as I got off the streetcar, running up the stairs, the place smelling sour, and awake or asleep to startle awake, when she saw me she would break into a clogged weeping that could not be comforted, a weeping I can hear yet." Olsen says she was born in 1912 or 1913 in Omaha, Nebraska. Her parents were working class Russian Jewish immigrants and were deeply involved in the Socialist Party, which her father served as state secretary. Once, Eugene Victor Debs, head of the Socialist Party, came to Omaha in celebration of his release from prison (he was incarcerated for protesting World War I). Olsen and her sister presented him with red rosesan event she recalls fondly.

    Extractions: Michelle Cliff, born on November 2, 1946, grew up in Jamaica and later moved to the United States. She grew up in Jamaica, part of the upper middle class of society. Her relatives were considered wealthy, although they possessed little. Growing up she read mostly English and American writers as well as French. Cliff began reading the works of Caribbean writers as an adult. She wanted to be a writer at a young age, but in her family it was considered “taboo” to be a writer. One of the more influential novels Cliff read as a child was The Diary of Anne Frank . Cliff began keeping a diary modeled after the novel. She was humiliated when her family found her diary and read it aloud all she had kept secret from them, and quit writing until she reached the age of thirty. She was educated in New York City and also at the Warburg Institute located at the University of London. There she attained a Ph.D. on the Italian Renaissance. She is accredited with such novels as Abeng No Telephone to Heaven Bodies of Water Free Enterprise History as Fiction, Fiction as History

    Extractions: www.ReaAward.org References The Nebraska Center for Writers's analysis of Tillie Olsen's work Tillie Olsen's ... at The Nebraska Center for Writers Tillie Olsen was born in Omaha, Nebraska, in 1912. The daughter of Russian immigrants, she was raised in a working class, socialist environment. Growing up during the Depression she did not go to college, but early on got caught up in the struggle for survival at whatever jobs she could find. Her novel about the Depression, Yonnondio was begun when she was 19. A portion of the manuscript appeared in 1934 in the second issue of The Partisan Review. In her biography for the magazine, she listed her occupations as tie presser, hack writer, model, housemaid, ice cream packer and book clerk. The novel was never finished and thought irretrievably lost. However, remnants were found among some old papers, pieced together and published in book form in 1973. She is the author of the short story collection, Tell Me A Riddle [1962], the novel Yonnondio: From the Thirties [1994], a book of essays, Silences [1978]. She is the editor of Mothers and Daughter: That special quality [] and Mother to Daughter, Daughter to Mother, A Daybook and Reader []. The conflict between the demands of daily existence and the fulfillment of human potential is a theme that permeates Tillie Olsen's work. For twenty years, she was "silenced" as a writer while working to earn a living and single-handedly raising four daughters. "These are not natural silences, that necessary time for renewal," she said. "They are the unnatural thwarting of what struggles to come into being but cannot."

    Extractions: TILLIE OLSEN IS AN INTERNATIONALLY recognized literary writer and activist for the rights of working-class women. The daughter of refugees from political repression in Czarist Russia, Olsen was born in Nebraska in 1912 or 1913 (her birth certificate was lost). She dropped out of high school during the Depression and worked in South Omaha slaughterhouses and factories to support her family. The public library was her school, she explains, and, despite financial hardships, Olsen read voraciously. As a young adult active in the Communist Party, Olsen was arrested for organizing packinghouse workers and spent a month in jail. She did not begin writing full-time until the 1950s, when her youngest child started school. Olsen's writing focuses on the plight of America's underservedthe impoverished, African Americans, immigrants, women, and children. One of her most famous pieces, "I Stand Here Ironing," has been repeatedly anthologized. Her 1974 novel, Yonnondio, which took 40 years to write, was highly acclaimed as an indictment against poverty. In 1978 Olsen published Silences, a collection of essays dedicated to "our silenced people, century after century their linings consumed in the hard, everyday essential work of maintaining human life. Their art, which still they madeas their other contributionsanonymous; refused respect; recognition, lost."
