Kathleen Stone is the author of They Called Us Girls: Stories of Female Ambition from Suffrage to Mad Men.
Her writing career comes after a number of other pursuits. Kathleen studied art history at Oberlin College, and holds a JD from Boston University School of Law and an MFA from Bennington College. As a lawyer, she was a law clerk to a federal district court judge, a litigation partner in a law firm, senior counsel in a financial institution, and a solo practitioner.

In addition to her book, she also writes reviews of recent books and art exhibitions which have been published in Ploughshares Blog and Arts Fuse. Other work has appeared in Los Angeles Review of Books, Pangyrus, The Timberline Review, and The Writer’s Chronicle.
