Family
THE GIRLS MOST LIKELY
by Michael Agger
From New York Magazine — October 9, 2000
“Wonderful-looking, empowered superheroes” is how the writer Dan Max describes the McPhee sisters, Jenny and Martha, daughters of venerated New Yorker reporter John McPhee. “They remind me of those cartoon characters the Powerpuff Girls — intense and diminutive.” And this fall, the sisters will attempt to combine their literary clout — perhaps giving the Ephrons a run for their money. After producing one novel apiece — Martha made an impressive debut withBright Angel Time a couple of years ago, and Jenny has one coming out next summer — they’re about to publish their manifesto on girlhood at the turn of the millennium, Girls, with photographs by their sister Laura. No Teen People junkies, these girls: The subjects study biogenetics, play football, write novels, and paint like Picasso….”

Notes from Martha-
In the spirit of the Pope, nipote, and nepotism, I just put your website on my blog. I may have come first, but I follow you.
That’s the way I like it, you following me!! Thanks darling sister.
My dear Martha, your blog is fantastic. Today I went through it and I LOVED it, the articles, knowing more about your family, your books, even the recipes (alI though I don’t think I will try them), the pictures are amazing, specially that one of little Jasper with long hear at the beginning
congratulations!
Thank you! That is so sweet. I think that I look just like Jasper too, especially in that picture. I’m so glad you visited and that you wrote.
That photo of your mother with you four girls is identical to the last time I visited your family in Princeton. I could almost swear I took it. What a lovely memory. Am thoroughly enjoying your blog and so glad to have discovered it.
