One of a Kind

Author Lynn Lobban ’69 confronts painful past.

Ten years ago in DAM, Lobban wrote about pledging a Dartmouth fraternity in 1968 as an early female transfer student. Now, she has followed up with a courageous memoir that recounts a traumatic and abusive childhood, her complicated time as a woman attending a college of 3,000 men, and her subsequent blossoming as an actress. Writing her book, One of the Boys, “was a painstaking and necessary process,” Lobban says. She’s encouraged by the response. “Especially coming from young and old Dartmouth friends. The shame that often goes along with life’s hard experiences has lessened as others share their stories. I suppose that’s been my intent all along—to help people find and speak their truths, whatever they are.”
