23. JWA - We Remember - Tillie Olsen (1913 - 2007)
    tillie olsen s handwriting was so tiny you almost needed a magnifying glass to read her patchwork of words, yet her influence on my life was enormous.

    Extractions: by Rachel Lyon In a rather small hall, the windows lashed with rain, Tillie read Tell Me a Riddle out loud to 600 people. We were all in tears, including Tillie. For me, that day was life-changing. My then partner and I sat in silence, dreaming dreams. I spent the next five years making Tell Me a Riddle Tell Me a Riddle 's protagonists. A daughter of immigrants and a working mother starved for time to write, Tillie Olsen drew from her personal experiences to create a small but influential body of work. Her first published book, Tell Me a Riddle (1961), which went to print when Tillie was 50, contained a short story, "I Stand Here Ironing," in which the narrator painfully recounts her difficult relationship with her daughter and the frustrations of motherhood and poverty. At the time of the book's publication Tillie was applauded by critics as a short story writer of immense talent. Tillie's working class roots and leftist political involvement were never far from her life and work. Her popularity within the rising women's movement was in part due to the importance of bringing a working class perspective to a movement that struggled with privileged roots and limited reach.

The following entry presents an overview of Olsen's career through 1998. For further information on her life and works, see CLC , Volumes 4 and 13. Olsen's work—which focuses on the plight of the poor, the powerless, and women—has earned her almost universal praise. Although she has published relatively little throughout her career, her short stories and novel are of the highest quality. Her fiction and her essays have placed her in a role as a chronicler of the working class as well as a leading feminist writer. Olsen was born on January 14, 1913 (some sources say 1912) in Omaha, Nebraska. Her Jewish parents had been political activists in Russia and immigrated to the United States after the failed 1905 revolution. While a teenager, Olsen read Rebecca Harding Davis's Life in the Iron Mills and was so moved by the description of the working class that she vowed to become a writer. After high school, Olsen took a variety of jobs to supplement her family's income and became active in leftist politics, joining the Young People's Socialist League and the Young Communist League. While working in Kansas City, Olsen was arrested in 1931 for encouraging packinghouse workers to unionize. While in prison, Olsen developed pleurisy and incipient tuberculosis. Upon her release, she moved to Minnesota to recover. There she began her first novel

    Extractions: Today's Globe Local Opinion Magazine ... Obituaries Tillie Olsen published "Tell Me a Riddle" when she was 49. (associated press file/2001) January 5, 2007 WASHINGTON Tillie Olsen, a chronicler of the working class whose few published works included some of the most critically acclaimed stories in modern American literature, died Monday of complications of Alzheimer's disease at Kaiser Hospital in Oakland, Calif. She was 94 and lived in Berkeley, Calif. Ms. Olsen was nearly 50 years old when her first book, the short story collection "Tell Me a Riddle," was published in 1961. She had been writing for years, but sporadic Depression-era jobs, her political activism, and demands of motherhood took precedence. She wrote at night after her children were asleep or while riding a bus to work, as a waitress, a capper of mayonnaise jars, a Kelly Girl temp, among many other jobs. In 1934, when an excerpt of her novel-in-progress about the Depression was published in Partisan Review, she listed in an author's note additional jobs: tie presser, hack writer, model, housemaid, ice cream packer, book clerk. The novel, "Yonnondio: From the Thirties," was published nearly four decades after the Partisan Review excerpt, and only after bits and pieces of it were discovered among old papers. "Tell Me a Riddle" and "Yonnondio" (1973) were her only published works of fiction. Both met with critical acclaim, as did "Silences" (1978), a memoir of her years as a struggling writer and an exploration of the forces that silence "those whose working hours are all struggle for existence; the barely educated; the illiterate; women."

Tillie Olsen Writer and activist Tillie Olsen, who mined her own working-class background to create a handful of lyrical, searing short stories on themes of race, class and gender and broke new critical ground with a nonfiction work, Silences , died Jan. 1 in an Oakland hospital. Olsen, 94, had suffered from Alzheimer's disease. Author of the widely anthologized stories Tell Me a Riddle and I Stand Here Ironing Critics in both the academic and mainstream press praise the technical brilliance and emotional power of the four short stories collected in the volume Tell Me a Riddle , published in 1961. And the 1978 Silences , which describes the political, cultural and personal circumstances that hinder creative expression and questions why some voices, including those of women, historically had been silenced or become lost, is regarded as a foundational work in the fields of women's studies and feminist criticism. Listening to Silences , published in 1994. Olsen spearheaded the movement to recover and value writers who were neglected or devalued in the past due in large part to their class, gender or race, Fishkin said.

The pioneering leftist feminist writer was just weeks shy of her 95th birthday. I wanted to commemorate her death by re-reading her great short story “I Stand Here Ironing,” but it’s in the office and all I can find on-line are dozens of disheartening links to term papers for purchase. More interestingly, there’s a teaching wiki up that may be of interest to some. My mother devoured Tell Me a Riddle when I was a girl and I remember her raving about it. I liked the title, but when she told me that one of the great stories was called “I Stand Here Ironing,” and consisted of a woman ironing and talking and thinking about her daughter, I resisted. The very idea felt claustrophobic to me. My mother ironed. She talked about me. Tillie Olsen, from Nebraska with a Scandinavian name (a married name—she was the daughter of Russian Jews), was too close to home. What could I learn from her?
