\nFrom Amazon:
\n1969: the height of counterculture and the year universit ies would seek to curb the unruly spectacle of student protest\; the winte r that Harvard University would begin the tumultuous process of merging wi th Radcliffe\, its all-female sister school\; and the year that Jane Britt on\, an ambitious twenty-three-year-old graduate student in Harvard's Anth ropology Department and daughter of Radcliffe Vice President J. Boyd Britt on\, would be found bludgeoned to death in her Cambridge\, Massachusetts a partment.
\nForty years later\, Becky Cooper a curious undergrad\, w ill hear the first whispers of the story. In the first telling the body wa s nameless. The story was this: a Harvard student had had an affair with h er professor\, and the professor had murdered her in the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology because she'd threatened to talk about the affa ir. Though the rumor proves false\, the story that unfolds\, one that Coop er will follow for ten years\, is even more complex: a tale of gender ineq uality in academia\, a 'cowboy culture' among empowered male elites\, the silencing effect of institutions\, and our compulsion to rewrite the stori es of female victims.
