- SpousesJohn Stoltenberg(1998 - April 9, 2005) (her death)Cornelius Dirk de Bruin(1967 - 1971) (divorced)
- Frequently worked with fellow feminist Catharine A. MacKinnon.
- Feminist and author.
- Worked as a waitress, a receptionist, a factory worker, and a prostitute before joining the women's movement.
- Anti-pornography activist.
- Titled herself as "a feminist but not the fun kind.".
- [In response to the Bill Clinton-Monica Lewinsky sex scandal circa 1998] I have a modest proposal. It will probably bring the FBI to my door, but I think that Hillary [Hillary Clinton] should shoot Bill and then President Gore [Al Gore] should pardon her.
- I couldn't be bothered to vote most of the time because it was always a choice between the corrupt and the more corrupt. There is the primordial sludge and then the more pristine amoeba. My guy's the amoeba; the other guy's the sludge. This is a recipe for madness, otherwise known as the American president.
- If a woman has any sense of her own intrinsic worth, seeing pornography in small bits and pieces can bring her to a useful rage. Studying pornography in quantity and depth, as I have been doing for more months than I care to remember, will turn that same woman into a mourner.
