Diana E. H. Russell (6 November 1938 - 28 July 2020) was a feminist writer and activist. For the past 45 years she was engaged in research on sexual violence against women and girls. She wrote numerous books and articles on rape, including marital rape, femicide, incest, misogynist murders of women, and pornography. For The Secret Trauma, she was co-recipient of the 1986 C. Wright Mills Award. She was also the recipient of the 2001 Humanist Heroine Award from the American Humanist Association. She was also an organizer of the First International Tribunal on Crimes against Women, in Brussels in March 1976. Exposing Nuclear Phallacies is a powerful international collection of articles which tackles a subject of the utmost urgency and importance to us all, taking as its theme the significance of socialized gender differences in the origin and perpetuation of the nuclear threat. Together, the contributors present a challenge to the women's movement to actively respond to this historic crisis, offer an incentive and guide for the transformation of the anti-nuclear movement, and provide a catalyst for change that may literally help to save all of us and the planet on which we life.
