A 1967 graduate of Radcliffe College, Annie Popkin was a founding member in 1969 of Bread and Roses, a women's liberation organization in Cambridge, Mass. Made up of consciousness-raising groups devoted to increasing personal and political understanding of the status and condition of women, Bread and Roses sought to educate others by sponsoring various events, including talks at high schools and colleges, and by investigating and protesting instances of sexism. Popkin was also active in the New England Marxist-Feminist Study Group and the Boston Women's Union. A teacher and film-maker, she has taught at the University of California at Santa Cruz, the University of Massachusetts at Boston, and the University of Oregon, where she was acting director of women's studies.
