Women in Prison by Kathryn Watterson

KATHRYN WATTERSON, an award-winning author, teaches creative writing (fiction, creative nonfiction and memoir) at the University of Pennsylvania. Her writing and teaching reflect her deep interest in issues of race, class and justice. Her books, three of which have been chosen by the New York Times as Notable Books of the Year, include Not by the Sword (which won a 1996 Christopher Award); You Must Be Dreaming (basis of the NBC movie, Betrayal of Trust); and Women in Prison (basis of an ABC documentary, Women in Prison and a play, The Concrete Womb). A variety of magazines and newspapers, including The New York Times, The Philadelphia Inquirer and The International Herald Tribune, have published her essays and articles. Her short stories have appeared in TriQuarterly, Writers' Forum, Northeast Corridor, Santa Monica Review and TriQuarterly Online. Watterson taught from 1987 to 2002 at Princeton University in the Princeton Writing Program and in the Program for African-American Studies. While there, she created a community-based seminar called The Writer in the Community, in which undergraduates worked in poverty programs while also reading and writing about race, class and poverty. Watterson frequently gives lectures, readings, and workshops around the country. Currently she's working on a novel, a short story collection, and an oral history, The North's Most Southern Town: A Living History of African-American Princeton, 1900-2000. She performs as a singer and drummer with PLP TheUnity, a popular musical trio in Philadelphia.
