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.

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.The Riddles of the Sphinx untangles the knot of language, power, and identity to reveal:Crossword Puzzle History: The overlooked women who shaped the American crossword, from the 1920s ?Crossword Craze? to the digital age, and have been central to its creation and evolution.Psychoanalysis and Language: A sharp exploration of the surprising connections between anorexia, Freudian analysis, and the relentless act of tearing language apart and piecing it back together.Feminist Protest: How women have used word games and puzzles as an unexpected site of resistance against the constraints and paradoxes of patriarchy.Memoir and Cultural History: A deeply personal journey into the CrossWorld, where the author?s own story becomes a lens to analyze the roles assigned to women in American culture.…
