Life

Hutchins was orphaned at an early age and raised by an aunt along with her sister. After graduating from high school, she studied painting and sculpture at Yale University and participated in exhibitions in major museums and galleries. In collaboration with Mortimer Adler , he createddiagramatics (1932), a collection of “psychological drawings” and poems.

Between 1921 and 1948 she was married to the philosopher of education and President of the University of Chicago, Robert Maynard Hutchins , and had three children with him. After the breakdown of their marriage, she moved to Connecticut with two of her three daughters in 1948 and began writing. Nine novels and a number of short stories, plays and poems were written.

Many of her works are designed as diary fiction and impressed at the time of their creation through an unusually direct and open approach to the sexually grounded feelings of their protagonists , with Hutchins' style also being compared with the nouveau roman . Her best-known title is the educational novel Victorine from 1959.

Hutchins' reception in the German-speaking area began around 1960; it has largely been forgotten since the 1990s.
