1969: Jane Britton, an ambitious 23-year-old graduate student in Harvard's Anthropology Department and daughter of Radcliffe Vice President J. Boyd Britton, was found bludgeoned to death in her Cambridge, Massachusetts apartment. In this book Becky Cooper tells a shocking tale of gender inequality in academia, a 'cowboy culture' among empowered male elites, the silencing effect of institutions, and our compulsion to rewrite the stories of female victims. A murder at Harvard and a half century of silence.
