SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO LIE: The Life and Times of Louise Fitzhugh, Renegade Author of Harriet The Spy.
By Leslie Brody. Seal Press. 335 pages. $30.
If you were a teenage girl in the 1960s (and the following decades), it is likely that you read âHarriet the Spy,â a novel about a cheeky girl who embodied the spirit of female liberation that had been planted by women such as Betty Freidan and other societal trailblazers.
It was a coming-out novel for a generation of girls who would embrace womenâs liberation.

Directors Julie Cohen and Betsy West first came across the name Pauli Murray while working on their Oscar-nominated documentary “RBG.” Ruth Bader Ginsburg had written “Pauli Murray” on the front cover of her first women’s rights brief before the Supreme Court to give credit for the idea she’d be arguing. Murray had, in 1965, written a law journal article positing that the 14th Amendment could be used to protect gender equality. It would be a foundational idea for Ginsburg.
