Ooh, what a great question.

I want to become a novelist, so I agree with you on all the writers, particularly Lahiri. The Pulitzer short story collection is marvelous! I also love Mary Gordon (part of the English faculty). Can’t forget Ann Brashares (The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants) - I love the series.

I also love Cynthia Nixon (Sex & the City actress).

I can’t explain how much I would love to be a part of the literary talents that often come from Barnard - I’m working on signing with a literary agent now and it would be remarkable to be at Barnard while publishing my (eighth completed) novel.

Otherwise, I definitely can’t wait for all the great women! I’m sure the class of 2014 will be a powerful bunch.
