| Judith Levine |
Judith Levine is an author
and journalist who over the past 40 years has combined
reportage, history and social science, and personal
writing to explore the cultural politics of sexuality,
gender, family, and the overlapping practices of
psychology and criminal justice. She has always seen
writing as a creative activist act connecting the
personal with the political. Her second book, Harmful to Minors: The Perils of Protecting Children From Sex, was published in 2002 from University of Minnesota Press. She is also the author of My Enemy, My Love: Women, Men & the Dilemmas of Gender (Doubleday 1992), as well as scores of articles, which have appeared in both popular and academic national publications, including Harper's, The Village Voice, My Generation, Index on Censorship, Salon, and Nerve.
Levine is an activist for women’s freedom, civil liberties, and peace. A founder of the National Writers Union, No More Nice Girls, and Take Back the Future, Levine currently serves as a director for the National Center for Reason & Justice and the American Civil Liberties Union’s Vermont chapter.
