"A surprising and ambitious investigation of language and the varied ways women resist the paradoxes of patriarchy both on and off the page."--New York TimesCombining the soul-baring confessional of Brain on Fire and the addictive storytelling of The Queen's Gambit, a renowned puzzle creator's compulsively readable memoir and history of the crossword puzzle as an unexpected site of women's work and feminist protest.The indisputable "queen of crosswords," Anna Shechtman published her first New York Times puzzle at age nineteen, and later, helped to spearhead the The New Yorker's popular crossword section. Working with a medium often criticized as exclusionary, elitist, and out-of-touch, Anna is one of very few women in the field of puzzle making, where she strives to make the everyday diversion more diverse.In this fascinating work--part memoir, part cultural analysis--she excavates the hidden history of the crossword and the overlooked women who have been central to its creation and evolution, from the "Crossword Craze" of the 1920s to the role of digital technology today. As she tells the story of her own experience in the CrossWorld, she analyzes the roles assigned to women in American culture, the boxes they've been allowed to fill, and the ways that they've used puzzles to negotiate the constraints and play of desire under patriarchy.The result is an unforgettable and engrossing work of art, a loving and revealing homage to one of our most treasured, entertaining, and ultimately political pastimes.

This is a book of gramograms, little word puzzles where letters, numbers, and everyday symbols are spoken out loud to form words and sentences. Gramograms have been around for ages, but the first person to pair them with drawings was New Yorker cartoonist William Steig, in his classic 1968 book CDB! (See the Bee!).These days, with the ubiquitousness of shorthand texting and the familiar "at" symbol in email addresses, we all have a bit more gramogram experience, whether we realize it or not. AB@C builds on the form that Steig revolutionized with all-new gramograms--new words, new settings, and a few new symbols--each accompanied by a New Yorker-style cartoon that gives comedic context for the caption. (For instance, the book's cover art, a drawing of a bumblebee in a boat on the ocean, helps reveal the translation of AB@C: "A bee at sea.")
