Biography.
Born in Vienna, Austria, she won the Pulitzer Prize for General Non-Fiction in 1983 for her book "Is There No Place on Earth for Me?" The book details the experiences of a young New York City woman diagnosed with schizophrenia. Portions of the book were published in "The New Yorker", for which she has written frequently since 1961 as a staff writer. Her work as a contributing writer has also appeared in "The New York Times" and "Architectural Digest".
In 1986, Sheehan published in "The New Yorker" “A Missing Plane,” a three-part series about the U.S. Army’s attempt to identify the remains of the victims of a 1944 airplane crash. In "About Town: The New Yorker and the World It Made", Ben Yagoda called the article “exhaustive and ultimately exhausting.”
Her husband was the journalist Neil Sheehan, who also won a Pulitzer Prize for General Non-Fiction for "A Bright Shining Lie: John Paul Vann and America in Vietnam" in 1989. Sheehan and her husband lived in Washington, D.C.
