For the next thirteen years she lived in several countries and with many different families—earning a B.A. from Bedford College\, London\, along the way—before finally achieving her independence and settling in New York. In 1961\, Lore Groszmann married David Segal\, an editor; they had two children\, Beatrice and Jacob\, before David’s sudden death in 1970. In addition to her writing career\, Segal held teaching appointments at Columbia University\, Princeton University\, Bennington College\, Sarah Lawrence College\, the University of Illinois at Chicago\, and Ohio State University\, from which she retired in 1995.
