Sherman's writing reflects the zeitgeist of a decade marked by protests, counterculture, and a yearning for revolution. A prominent figure in New York’s literary and activist scenes, Susan Sherman co-founded IKON, an influential magazine for radical arts and letters, further emphasizing her voice as one deeply rooted in the struggles of the era.
