  • Christina Hoff Sommers (born 1950 in Petaluma, California) is an American author who researches culture, adolescents, and morality in American society. Her most widely discussed books are Who Stole Feminism?: How Women Have Betrayed Women and The War Against Boys: How Misguided Feminism Is Harming Our Young Men. Sommers has described how the feminist movement has been appropriated by "a cadre of party-line bureaucrats promoting an agenda of victimism and victimology-based revolution, with serious implications for the wider world." According to the liberal magazine The Nation, Sommers no longer considers herself a feminist. Critics of Sommers have refer to her as an antifeminist. Sommers earned her B.A. at New York University where she graduated Phi Beta Kappa in 1971. She received her Ph.D. in philosophy from Brandeis University in 1979. A former philosophy professor in Ethics at Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts, Sommers is a resident scholar at several conservative institutions, including the American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research and the Board of Advisors of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education. She speaks on college campuses through the socially conservative Clare Boothe Luce Policy Institute's campus lecture program, and is also one of the founding members of the conservative Independent Women's Forum. Author Barbara Marshall has stated that Sommers explicitly identifies herself as a "libertarian." The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy categorizes Sommers' equity feminist views as classical liberal or libertarian and socially conservative. Sommers has criticized how "conservative scholars have effectively been marginalized, silenced, and rendered invisible on most campuses." In an article for the text book, Moral Soundings, Sommers makes the case for moral conservation and traditional values. (en)
