Ann Snitow's Soho loft was a lively center for feminism, where activists gathered regularly to discuss politics and collaborate on projects. Renowned figures like Susan Faludi and Judith Levine noted the loft's unique atmosphere, which fostered connections between friendship and activism. Snitow, an educator and activist, combined her roles as a teacher and supporter, encouraging students to engage in activism through an 'inside/outside life.' Her home, described as a boarding house for progressive thinkers, epitomized the communal spirit of the feminist movement, characterized by open dialogue and ideation.
The dining table at the center of Ann Snitow's Soho loft was rarely empty, and the food was never the point.
We sort of invented social constructivism there.
Snitow urged students to pursue what she called the 'inside/outside life' and blend academics with action.
I think a lot of people felt that she was their good mother.
