Barbara Ehrenreich ’63 on Living with a Wild God

Barbara Ehrenreich has been engaged in a life-long search for the truth. Starting Reed College as a chemist, she completed her thesis under the direction of physicist Prof. Jean DeLord (thesis title: Electrochemical oscillations of the silicon anode). Starting graduate school as a physicist, she completed her PhD in biology. Her search for the truth has taken her undercover in low-wage jobs and to the front lines of the feminist struggle. Ehrenreich discussed her most recent book, Living with a Wild God: A Nonbeliever’s Search for the Truth about Everything, with Terri Gross on NPR’s Fresh Air (April 8 episode).
