"To speak radical truths—unapologetically, ferociously, rudely when
necessary—is the central purpose of Joanna Russ's influential body of
work," declares Lee Mandelo in their essay on Russ's radical, groundbreaking
literary and critical work. Mandelo’s essay traces Russ's evolving efforts
to speak truth throughout their literary career—examining both Russ's
successes and failures in doing so. They insist that Russ problematized and
individualized her ultimate understanding of truth without rejecting its
possibility. Rather, Mandelo argues, the trajectory of change in Russ's
work and her revision of prior truths itself constitutes a valuable part of
the truth-telling project. Russ emerges in Mandelo's essay as a heroic
though all-too-human intellectual and artist, one whose angry, brilliant
work we cannot afford to ignore or forget.
