![]() ![]() When Hulcoop was hired as an English professor at UBC in 1956, Rule went with him to Vancouver to help him find an apartment. During this period, she met John Hulcoop, a British literary critic and academic who now serves as professor emeritus at the University of British Columbia (UBC). She later followed a girlfriend to London, England, and attended classes at University College there. In 1952, she earned a bachelor of arts in English from Mills College, a liberal arts women’s college in California. As a teenager, Rule was inspired by The Well of Loneliness, Radclyffe Hall’s 1928 novel about lesbians, and went on to pursue writing in college. She was a perpetual outsider throughout her childhood, suffering from dyslexia and towering above classmates at a height of 6 feet (1.8 m) by the age of 12. Rule was born into a military family in New Jersey and spent her childhood moving from base to base while her father served in the Second World War. ![]()
