Sue Ellen Browder is a freelance writer who has appeared
Sue Ellen Browder is a freelance writer who has appeared
on Oprah, theToday Show, and hundreds of radio talk shows. Her work for
Cosmopolitan, New Woman, Woman’s Day, and other magazines has given her
a lifetime of experience with the women’s movement as it unfolded in the media,
both on the public stage and behind the scenes. Trained at the University of Missouri
School of Journalism to be an investigative journalist, Browder unwittingly betrayed
her true calling and became a propagandist for sexual liberation. She did not realize
until much later that propagandists higher and cleverer than herself were influencing
her thinking and her personal choices as they subverted the women’s movement. Her
most recent book Subverted: How I Helped the Sexual Revolution Hijack the
Woman’s Movement sets the record straight and illumines a way forward for others
who have suffered from the unholy alliance between the women’s movement and
the sexual revolution.
