	Joy Davidman Biography
		In 1934, when Davidman was nineteen, she witnessed a suicide in which a hungry orphan jumped from the roof of a building at Hunter College, and according to journalist Oliver Pilat, this incident enabled her to grasp the economic impact of the depression on the poor (1 Nov. 1949, 36).
		Davidman's inability to ignore poverty and unfairness, coupled with her exposure to the Spanish Civil war and art from the Soviet Union and her "[y]outhful rebelliousness, youthful vanity, [and] youthful contempt of the 'stupid people' who seemed to be running society.
		This technique is crucial for Davidman because she advocates a classless society in which the more affluent middle class helps the disadvantaged, and she uses the reader as a character to persuade audiences to accept her beliefs or to reaffirm their political commitment.

		Davidman was hardly the first woman who found her fame eclipsed by a husband's.

	Joy Davidman:Smoke on the Mountain.

	Boundless: Extraordinary Joy
		Born in 1915, Joy writes that she "sucked in atheism with [my] canned milk." The daughter of an atheistic Jewish father and a nominally observant Jewish mother, Joy was an exceptionally bright child whose I.Q. was literally off the charts.
		By the time she reached her 22nd birthday, Joy, who called herself an "iron materialist," had come to accept that life could not be lived entirely for pleasure, as materialism taught.
		Forty years after her death, Joy's conversion from the little girl who "sucked in atheism" to a Christian intellectual with a devouring hunger for God continues to inspire faith journeys in others.
