She was 75 years old. In her honour, Arlene Zaucha shared the radio program she produced featuring Allison&#8217;s 2013 talk to the newly-formed Working Class Student Union, at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. It originally aired in the program series Her Turn, on local community radio station WORT-FM. Among Dorothy Allison&#8217;s published writings are a book of poetry titled\u00a0<em>Women Who Hate Me<\/em>, a book of short stories titled\u00a0<em>Trash<\/em>, and the semi-fictional novel\u00a0<em>Bastard Out of Carolina<\/em>, which became a best-seller and was made into a film directed by Anjelica Huston. Allison talked of her experience of the class divide in America, and the effect it had on her own life and university experiences.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.radio4all.net\/files\/wingsradionews@gmail.com\/WINGS-31-24DorothyAllison-28_55-128kbps.mp3\">http:\/\/www.radio4all.net\/files\/wingsradionews@gmail.com\/WINGS-31-24DorothyAllison-28_55-128kbps.mp3<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>American author and activist, lesbian, teacher, anthropologist, and working-class escapee Dorothy Allison died November 6th, 2024.
