- Joanne Schultz Frye (born November 6, 1944) is a Professor Emerita of English and Women's Studies at the College of Wooster. Frye is known for her feminist literary criticism and interdisciplinary inquiry into motherhood. She specializes in research on fiction by and about women, such as the work of Virginia Woolf, Tillie Olsen, and Jane Lazarre. Frye's first book, Living Stories, Telling Lives: Women and the Novel in Contemporary Experience, was featured in Betsy Draine’s 1989 review essay, “Refusing the Wisdom of Solomon: Some Recent Feminist Literary Theory,” and in Ellen Cronan Rose's 1993 essay "American feminist criticism of contemporary women's fiction," both in Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society. Draine cites Frye’s chapter on “Feminist Poetics” as an affirmation of “the explanatory possibilities of narrative, to develop new paradigms through which we can see our own experience” and notes the book’s emphasis on “the subversive first-person female” to move beyond the language of patriarchy. In the preface, Frye claims “a dual commitment: to the importance of affirming women’s own perspective on female experience and to the power of literature in shaping our culture awareness.” Rose notes this commitment to literature as “stimulus to personal and social change." Frye has also been celebrated for her 2012 memoir, Biting the Moon: A Memoir of Feminism and Motherhood, in which she continues the concerns of her critical work and her past, which Frye situates in literary and cultural context. Frye married Ronald Tebbe in 1989. Her two daughters are teachers and writers; each is the mother of two sons. (en)
