Jean V. Hardisty (June 18, 1945 – March 16, 2015) was a political scientist and lesbian feminist activist who became a national resource for human rights movements seeking social and economic justice and an end to bigotry based on race, gender, or class. She was a senior scholar with the Wellesley Centers for Women. Hardisty received her Ph.D. from Northwestern University in Illinois, taught briefly, and in the 1980s left academia to conduct a study of the anti-feminist women’s movement for the American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois. She predicted a massive organized right-wing backlash which saw the rise of the New Right and the election of Ronald Reagan as President in 1980. She then founded the think tank which became Political Research Associates in Massachusetts to study Right-wing movements nationwide. Her study “Constructing Homophobia” was included in her book Mobilizing Resentment: Conservative Resurgence from the John Birch Society to the Promise Keepers. She received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Center for Community Change. More

Hepburn's career as a Hollywood leading lady spanned over 60 years. She was known for her headstrong independence, spirited personality and outspokenness, cultivating a screen persona that matched this public image, and regularly playing strong-willed, sophisticated women. She received four Academy Awards for Best Actress—a record for any performer. In 1999, Hepburn was named the greatest female star of classic Hollywood cinema by the American Film Institute. Hepburn found a niche playing middle-aged spinsters, such as in The African Queen (1951), a persona the public embraced. Hepburn earned three more Oscars for her work in Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (1967), The Lion in Winter (1968), and On Golden Pond (1981). In the 1970s, she began appearing in television films, which later became her focus. She made her final screen appearance at the age of 87. With her unconventional lifestyle and the independent characters she brought to the screen, Hepburn epitomized the "modern woman" in the 20th-century United States, and was an important cultural figure.

Bali and Jakarta: Saritaksu Editions and Galeri Cemara, 2006. First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. [2],vi, 71, [1] pages. Illustrations (many in color). With compliments of Dr. Toeti Heraty bookplate on fep. Boards have slight curvature. Decorative DJ. Instead of choosing the epistolary form to espouse her views, Toeti presents her personal and social philosophy in free verse or, in the author's phrase, 'lyrical prose'. Calon Arang is a character in Javanese and Balinese folklore dating from the 12th century. Tradition calls her a witch, a master of black magic. Heraty's poem, "Calon Arang: the Story of A Woman Victimized by Patriarchy", a book-length lyric, provides critical insights into the standard perception of Indonesia's great archetypal figure, Calon Arang. The poem presents a three-dimensional picture of a woman who stands against the repressive, patriarchal society, but unfortunately is perceived as a legendary witch. A new perspective recently emerged which took Calon Arang's side and portrayed her more sympathetic and kindly. Toeti Heraty characterizes her as the victim of demonization within a patriarchal society, as a critic of a misogynistic culture and discrimination against women. Heraty is considered to belong to the first generation of Indonesian feminist thinkers and has written extensively on issues of importance to women. Heraty's poetry reflects not just her feminist stance, but also her love for arts. She also headed the Yayasan Mitra Budaya Indonesia, (YMBI, Foundation for Lovers of Indonesian Culture) in 1998. She was the founder of Journal Perempuan, a feminist magazine. Heraty also offered her services to Suara Ibu Peduli, that works for the empowerment of women. More

When war broke out in Korea, she was one of the first reporters on the spot. On 28 June, Higgins and three of her colleagues witnessed the Hangang Bridge bombing. She was ordered out of the country by General Walton Walker, who argued that the military had no time to worry about them. Higgins made a personal appeal to General Douglas MacArthur, who sent a telegram to the Herald Tribune stating: Ban on women correspondents in Korea has been lifted. Marguerite Higgins is held in highest professional esteem by everyone. As a result of her reporting from Korea, Higgins shared with five male war correspondents the 1951 Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting. More
