Introduction

Published in 2018, Educated is a memoir by Tara Westover. It describes both her informal and formal education. At the age of 17, Tara Westover entered a classroom for the first time in her life, having grown up in a strict, religious family dominated by her volatile father’s anti-government paranoia. Ten years later, she earned a PhD in history from Cambridge University. Named one of The New York Times’ 10 Best Books of 2018, among other accolades, Westover’s memoir is a sometimes-brutal exploration of the nature and purpose of education, both academically and in life.
