In 1963, Mary McCarthy published one of the most revolutionary and scandalous novels of that scandalous, revolutionary decade—The Group. Based loosely on her own experiences at and after Vassar College, the book follows eight women through the triumphs and struggles universal to the time and unique to educated, affluent women in a male-dominated world. In this unique two-hour event, literary stars who knew or worked with McCarthy share their insights into this groundbreaking book and its author.
