An Unfinished Woman is an autobiography written by Lillian Hellman and published in 1969. In it, Hellman narrates her life from her childhood in New Orleans and New York to her adult life as a writer and playwright. The book explores themes such as family, identity, politics, and morality.
Lillian Florence Hellman was an American playwright, prose writer, memoirist, and screenwriter known for her success on Broadway as well as her communist views and political activism. She was blacklisted after her appearance before the House Committee on Un-American Activities (HUAC) at the height of the anti-communist campaigns of 1947–1952. Although she continued to work on Broadway in the 1950s, her blacklisting by the U.S. film industry caused a drop in her income. Many praised Hellman for refusing to answer HUAC's questions, but others believed, despite her denial, that she had belonged to the Communist Party.
