"Woman In the Yellow Sweater" Reveals Her Identity on Slate

September 7, 2010

Dear Feminists for Life

Jessica Grose, Slate contributor and editor of "Double X," recently expressed her curiosity about "the woman in the yellow sweater" at the Susan B. Anthony breakfast who asked the pivotal question about welcoming left-leaning pro-life women to the political process.

After her post, many other women stepped forward to identify themselves as "yellow sweaters"--politically progressive, pro-life feminists.

Now the woman in the yellow sweater has identified herself as FFL member and past FFL board member Sharon Long.

Feminists for Life welcomes all people, regardless of political or religious affiliation. Left, right, independent, or politically homeless, those who walk in the shoes of early American feminists such as Elizabeth Cady Stanton--who opposed abortion and worked for "the complete elevation and enfranchisement of women"--are invited to call Feminists for Life home.

Because women deserve better,
