The Woman Who Ate The Carnations

ON Oct. 19, the day the obituary appeared, my mother, Maxine, called to tell me in a flat voice that the cancer had finally killed Marcia Tucker, the renegade museum curator, feminist and political activist.

New York Times article by Elizabeth Hayt
The news prompted a jumble of reactions and memories. This woman had changed my mother’s life and, in so doing, turned our family upside down.
