Jennifer with Sisters in FArgo driveway, circa 1978
I’ve been a feminist since birth (1970). I was raised in a home with Ms. magazine on the coffee table. I played with Barbies, but my Barbies had abortions. The more I learned about feminism as a value, movement, and philosophy, the more I was able to make sense of my life and find purpose.
Since moving to New York in 1992, I’ve worked in feminism and media. I write, make documentaries, publish books, lecture, and produce things, like the I Had an Abortion Project. One of my goals is to create language and conversation about the common, shared experiences that are sometimes terrible and often taboo to talk about, even in the most intimate settings.
