The Rigorous Experimentalism of Ann Snitow, 1943–2019

Ann was the most generous friend, mentor, and comrade, the constant host in her SoHo loft of visiting feminists and their conferences (and Dissent holiday parties), the warmest presence in any room—"my dear, tell me"—but I don't want to talk about that here. Ann was forward looking. At her New School retirement celebration in April, all assembled testified to her brilliance and spoke about her founding of the New School gender studies program. When it was Ann's turn to talk, she spoke to us about what was happening in Eastern Europe, new developments in right-wing power and abortion politics.
