Glamour 5/30/12: If Marina Keegan's Story Broke Your Heart This Weekend, Here's How You Can Support Her Work. Her name is Marina Keegan, and as you may have read over the weekend, she was a Yale 2012 grad and breathtakingly talented young writer who served as a columnist at the Yale Daily News. Just days before she was due to move to Brooklyn and take a job at The New Yorker, Marina died in a car accident near Cape Cod over the holiday weekend. She was 22 years old. In the past day, I've talked to and exchanged emails with dozens of women who, like me, felt knocked right down by this story. I strongly recommend taking the time to read both her final piece, on leaving the comforting cocoon of college, and this piece, on the pressures we all feel to define what we want and succeed in getting it without delay.
