Anita Hill by Allison Adams

“ We need to turn the question around to look at the harasser, not the target. We need to be sure that we can go out and look anyone who is a victim of harassment in the eye and say, ‘You do not have to remain silent anymore’. ”

Anita Hill (b.1956) is an American attorney and academic. She is a university professor of social policy, law, and women's studies at Brandeis University. She became a national figure in 1991 when she accused U.S. Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas, her supervisor, of sexual harassment. He was nominated and voted in anyway.

Not all women made the connection that in order to change the laws on women, they must become lawmakers themselves: MPs and voters.

An all-woman courtroom!

We recently framed this wonderful watercolor done by Twin Cities courtroom sketch artist, Nancy Muellner. This piece was commissioned for our 2019 exhibit, Women in the Law and felt perfect to share this month.

fundamental to bioessentialist and zionist ideology is a refusal to recognize that victimhood is situational rather than ontological

#honestly the terf-zionist overlap ime is massive. and yet the parallels in experience btwn diaspora jews and trans women is undeniable #but like. generally an incapability to recognize that jews are not inherently victims in an existential sense #but that antisemitic persecution is like... circumstantial. not natural law.
