Mary Joe Frug was a legal scholar and professor known for her work on gender equality and women’s rights. She challenged traditional legal ideas that often overlooked how laws can unfairly impact women.

Tragically, she was murdered in 1991, but her ideas continue to influence feminist legal theory and efforts to create a more just and equitable legal system for all genders.
