She is Professor of English emerita at the City College of New York.

1964

She enrolled at New York University at the age of fifteen (B.A., 1964).

Three years later, Hacker and Delany traveled from New York to Detroit, Michigan and were married.

In The Motion of Light in Water, Delany said they married in Detroit because of age-of-consent laws and because he was African-American and she was Caucasian: "there were only two states in the union where we could legally wed. The closest one was Michigan."

They settled in New York's East Village.

She graduated with a bachelor of arts degree in Romance Languages in 1964.

Hacker's first publication was in Cornell University's Epoch.

Delany: In Search of Silence, Volume 1, 1957–1969, edited by Kenneth R. James (Wesleyan University Press, 2017).

After moving to London in 1970, she found an audience through the pages of The London Magazine and Ambit.
