DESCRIPTION:One in a series of discussions about the major nonviolent theorists and 
 activists of our age. Too often students and practitioners of nonviolence 
 overlook the major contribution of women. Deming was an author, playwright, 
 director, theorist and journalist who devoted herself to nonviolent 
 struggles for civil rights, especially women's rights, and was also jailed 
 frequently for protesting the Viet Nam war, including making trips to 
 Hanoi. She came out as a lesbian in the 1930's - to her, the personal truly 
 was political and vice versa. Perhaps because of her gender orientation and 
 advocacy of women's rights, she came to believe that often it is those who 
 love us who oppress us most. Activist scholars Alice and Staughton Lynd 
 consider Barbara Deming “the most significant theorist of nonviolence in 
 the American New Left... Her image of the “two hands” -- one firmly 
 resisting the antagonist, the other extended in hoped for reconciliation -- 
 remains for us a fundamental metaphor of what we are about....”
