520    Dorothy Parker, Rebecca West, Hannah Arendt, Mary McCarthy,
       Susan Sontag, Pauline Kael, Joan Didion, Nora Ephron, 
       Renata Adler, and Janet Malcolm-these brilliant women are 
       the central figures of Sharp. Their lives intertwine as 
       they cut through the cultural and intellectual history of 
       America in the twentieth century, arguing as fervently 
       with each other as they did with the sexist attitudes of 
       the men who often undervalued their work as critics and 
       essayists.These women are united by what Dean terms as 
       "sharpness," the ability to cut to the quick with 
       precision of thought and wit, a claiming of power through 
       writing rather than position. Sharp is a vibrant and rich 
       depiction of the intellectual beau monde of twentieth-
       century New York, where gossip-filled parties at night 
       gave out to literary slanging matches in the pages of the 
       Partisan Review or the New York Review of Books as well as
       a considered portrayal of how these women came to be so 
       influential in a climate where women were treated with 
       derision by the critical establishment.Mixing biography, 
       literary criticism, and cultural history, Sharp is an 
       enthralling exploration of how a group of brilliant women 
       became central figures in the world of letters despite the
       many obstacles facing them, a testament to how anyone not 
       in a position of power can claim the mantle of writer and,
       perhaps, help change the world.
