Shy : the alarmingly outspoken memoirs of Mary Rodgers / Mary Rodgers and Jesse Green. by Rodgers, Mary, 1931-2014. Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2022. Call #: 782.14092 R691s Subjects Rodgers, Mary, 1931-2014.   Composers -- United States -- Biography.   Women composers -- United States -- Biography.   Lyricists -- United States -- Biography.   Women lyricists -- United States -- Biography.   Musicals -- History and criticism. ISBN:  9780374298623 (hc.) Edition:  1st ed. Description:  vi, 467 p. : ill. ; 24 cm. Summary:  "'Shy' is the story of how it all happened: how Mary grew from an angry child, constrained by privilege and a parent's overwhelming talent, to become not just a theater star but also a renowned author of books for young people (including the classic Freaky Friday) and, in a final grand turn, a doyenne of philanthropy and the Chairman of the Juilliard School. But in telling these stories--with copious annotations, contradictions, and interruptions from her coauthor, Jesse Green, the chief theater critic of The New York Times -- 'Shy' also tells another, about a woman liberating herself from disapproving parents and pervasive sexism to find art and romance on her own terms. Both an eyewitness report from the Golden Age of American musical theater and a tale of a woman striving for a meaningful life, 'Shy' is, above all, a chance to sit at the feet of the kind of woman they don't make anymore--and never did. They make themselves."--Goodreads. Genre:  Memoirs. Autobiographies.
