Marsha Pincus

Marsha Rosenzweig Pincus is a post mid-life, post-career woman writing for her life. After more than three decades of teaching in a public high school and at the University of Pennsylvania, Marsha retired in 2011 to write full time. A Carnegie Fellow and Philadelphia Teacher of the Year in 1989 and 2005, she’s published essays on teaching in several anthologies. Four of Marsha’s playwriting students had their plays produced Off-Broadway; this work was the subject of the documentary I Used to Teach English and an NBC report on education by Tom Brokaw. Marsha has recently published stories and poems and is working with Santa Fe director Tanya Taylor Rubinstein on a one-woman show about her teaching career. Marsha teamed up with AROHO alumna Liz Bedell to create Many Women, Many Stories and A Room of Our Own Making – writing retreats for women teachers. She has also endowed the Touching Lives Fellowship for a public school teacher to attend the Ghost Ranch retreats. Visit Her Own Terms: A Post Mid-Life Woman Writing for Her Life.
