She set out on a quest: to reenroll at Barnard and re-read the great books she had first encountered as an undergrad. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e From the banishment of Eve to Judith Butler's \u003ci\u003eGender Trouble\u003c\/i\u003e, Staal explores the significance of each of these classic tales by and of women, highlighting the relevance these ideas still have today. This process leads Staal to find the self she thought she had lost -- curious and ambitious, zany and critical -- and inspires new understandings of her relationships with her husband, her mother, and her daughter.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStephanie Staal\u003c\/b\u003e is a former features reporter for the \u003ci\u003eNewark Star-Ledger\u003c\/i\u003e, and has written for \u003ci\u003eCosmopolitan, Glamour, Self\u003c\/i\u003e, and the \u003ci\u003eWashington Post\u003c\/i\u003e.
