Quotations:
"I have always cherished the power of the written word to introduce readers to things for the first time and to encourage, even provoke, them to think about their opinions and why they uphold them. The process of committing words to paper initially makes the writer examine her own ideas, something that, it is hoped, might be transmitted to others as well."
"One of the greatest inspirations for the books I have written has come from contact with cultures other than my own, through both travel and the written and visual interpretations available to us."
Schaefer is a member of the International Association for the Study of Philosophy and Literature, the Latin American Studies Association and the Modern Language Association of America.
Schaefer is married to Paul Rodriguez-Hernandez since September 3, 1976.
