Loretta Ross (born on August 16, 1953 in Temple, Texas) is an academic, feminist, and activist who advocates for reproductive justice, especially among people of color. She is Associate Professor of the Study of Women & Gender at Smith College in Massachusetts. As an activist, Ross has written on reproductive justice activism and the history of African American women. She joined the women's movement in 1978 by working at the first rape crisis center in the country and learned about women's human rights, reproductive justice, white supremacy, and women of color organizing. She also researched and fought hate groups such as the KKK in the 1990s, founded a national center for teaching people about their human rights, and co-founded SisterSong. She works to share her experiences with emerging activists in hopes that you will join the transformative human rights movement that has changed the world.
