Mary Lyndon Shanley

Mary Lyndon Shanley (b. 13 May 1944 Evanston, Illinois -- ) is a feminist legal scholar specializing gender studies and issues of the American family and reproductive technologies. At her retirement she was the Margaret Stiles Halleck Professor of Political Science at Vassar College. She also taught writing to women in the Taconic Correctional Facility.

She said of her teaching career, "I thought about ways to help students to see that the issues we study—sexual discrimination; the nature of gender identity; intimate partner violence; intersections of gender, class, race, and sexual orientation—have endured and changed across the decades at Vassar".
