Susan Dworkin wrote the New York Times best seller, "The Nazi Officer's Wife, a true story of love and terror in the Third Reich, with the woman who lived it, the late Edith Hahn Beer. She wrote the Peabody Award winning TV documentary "She's Nobody's Baby: A History of American Women in the 20th Century", produced by HBO and Ms. Magazine.

Susan's newest play is "All Day Suckers", a dark comedy about a young woman's attempts to care for her ailing father in today's health care system. Other plays include "Looking for the Graphic Pueblo" (formerly "The Miami Dig") about a woman's search for family history in her father-in-law's riotous Miami apartment; "The Baking Song", about a struggle between a gifted musicologist and her zoologist lover on a freezing Boston evening; "The Book of Candy", adapted from her novel of the same name, a re-imagined Purim Play starring a Long Island homemaker as a contemporary Queen Esther, with music by Mel Marvin; "The Farm Bill", in which a low level clerk at the Department of Agriculture attempts to overthrow American farm policy, and "The Old Mezzo", in which a great opera diva tours her students through her life under fascism.
