Judith Levine

Judith Levine is an author and journalist who over the past 25 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, will be released 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. She is currently working on a memoir about her father, a meditation on loss, duty, and compassion.

Levine is a founder of the National Writers Union and the feminist guerrilla theater group No More Nice Girls and continues to be active in the union, feminism, and the defense of free speech. She lives with her partner, Paul Cillo, and their cat, Julius, in Brooklyn, New York, and Hardwick, Vermont.
