Career:
1973: Boyd wrote her first book as a sort of combat against her lesbianity, or at least as a sad commentary on it. Originally published in 1973, Nerves is still in print today.
A similar pretext was used in the writing of her second novel. In an attempt to cope with her addictions, Boyd thought publishing might be helpful. 1977 saw the publication of Mourning the Death of Magic.
1982: Blanche McCrary Boyd first book after getting clean, The Redneck Way of Knowledge, was published in 1982. Her teaching career at Connecticut College began that same year.
1992: A great deal of acclaim attended the 1991 publication of The Revolution of Little Girls. As a result, the women's Ferro-Grumley award was given to it.
1997 was the year when Terminal Velocity was published, the follow-up book to The Revolution of Little Girls.
It was published in 2018 as part of a trilogy called Revolution of Little Girls: Tomb of the Unknown Racist.
