When she was around eight—in a world that was a lot safer that today—she was allowed to roam the neighborhood by herself, and her visits to the tiny Alandale Public Library were the highlight of her week.</span></span></div></div><div data-block="true" data-editor="jftr" data-offset-key="id80-0-0"><div data-offset-key="id80-0-0"><span data-offset-key="id80-0-0"><br data-text="true"></span></div></div><div data-block="true" data-editor="jftr" data-offset-key="1oa8p-0-0"><div data-offset-key="1oa8p-0-0"><span data-offset-key="1oa8p-0-0"><span data-text="true">She attended public schools in Oakland. Her father opposed the idea of sending girls to college, being of the opinion that they would be better off working as waitresses to prepare them for their life’s work as housewives. Nancy ignored his advice and went on to UC Berkeley, where she supported herself by working in the campus library. In addition to the pleasure of working around books, the job had an added benefit of allowing student clerks to disappear into the stacks and read when work was slow. Nancy majored in English literature and graduated from Berkeley with honors.</span></span></div></div><div data-block="true" data-editor="jftr" data-offset-key="bggh5-0-0"><div data-offset-key="bggh5-0-0"><span data-offset-key="bggh5-0-0"><br data-text="true"></span></div></div><div data-block="true" data-editor="jftr" data-offset-key="78lnp-0-0"><div data-offset-key="78lnp-0-0"><span data-offset-key="78lnp-0-0"><span data-text="true">Her first job was as an associate editor for a small, long-vanished publishing house in San Francisco.

When her girls were in their teens, Nancy gave up freelancing and returned to full-time work, first as associate editor of Los Angeles Lawyer magazine and later as communications director for political affairs for ARCO. She quit ARCO when the first of her two granddaughters was born. Since then, she has devoted herself to writing and editing. Her primary hobby is painting portraits and images from old family photos dating from the early 1900s. She loves reading fiction, the theater, films, and travel, especially to the UK where the theater and books are a national passion.</span></span></div></div><div data-block="true" data-editor="jftr" data-offset-key="en4ov-0-0"><div data-offset-key="en4ov-0-0"><span data-offset-key="en4ov-0-0"><br data-text="true"></span></div></div><div data-block="true" data-editor="jftr" data-offset-key="46a61-0-0"><div data-offset-key="46a61-0-0"><span data-offset-key="46a61-0-0"><span data-text="true">Nancy Boyarsky coauthored Backroom Politics, a New York Times notable book, with her husband.
