Phyllis Chesler at a 1990 Conference of the Association of Women in Psychology, which she helped co-found, in Tempe, Arizona.

1990 - 1991. Here I am wearing my “Feminist Government in Exile” tee-shirt, a gift from Merle Hoffman, with the proverbial rose in my teeth.

Phyllis Chesler and Flo Kennedy.

1994 At Camp Sister Sprint; Ovett, Mississippi.

1998 Brandeis Professor<br><br>I represented a very different kind of feminism at Brandeis when I taught there for a semester. I would never have launched or signed a petition to dis-invite quintessential feminist, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, and I mourn the fact that Brandeis professors, including and overly represented Women’s Studies, faculty, actually did so. When Ayaan first had to flee Holland for America, no Women’s Studies program offered her a safe perch. Only the conservative American Enterprise Institute did so.

Late 1990s Feminist Seder<br><br>I held a feminist Pesach Seder in solidarity with the amazing women of Camp Sister Spirit. Their leaders are not Jews but they are pro-Jewish and anti-racist and did so for many years before I learned of their integrity. Here, are two of the many New York feminists who joined me: the late Jill Johnston and her partner Ingrid Nyboe.

1997 A reading from Patriarchy<br><br>I gave a reading from Patriarchy: Notes of An Expert Witness. I believe I did so at a small feminist bookstore on Manhattan’s lower East side.

Dr. Chesler gave a lecture and a series of workshops on Women and Madness in Ashland, Oregon in the spring of 1999. The women were wonderful—“they were Wiccans, atheists, “back to the land-ers,” made pottery, worked in shelters for battered women….”
