Ehrenreich uncovers the origins of communal celebration in human biology and culture, showing that such mass festivities have been indigenous to the West since the ancient Greeks.

She was born in Butte, Montana, studied physics at Reed College, and earned a PhD in cell biology from Rockefeller University.
