Biography
DONOR OF Linda Stein Collection to Luther College in 2024.
Eleanor Pam (born June 24, 1936, in Brooklyn, New York) is the President of the Veteran Feminists of America.
Aside from fighting on all fronts for gender equality and women's rights, Dr. Pam's feminist activism eventually became centered around issues relating to violence against women: Rape,[8] sexual harassment, domestic violence, women in prison.[9]
She was invited twice by the FBI to participate in think-tanks at their Behavioral Science Unit in Quantico, Virginia. The groups addressed the epidemic of enforcement personnel who abuse their intimate partners. At the first conference, "Domestic Violence by Police Officer," held in September 1998, she served as its Special Advisor and was a guest panelist on the FBI's in-house television system (FBITN) which broadcasts programs into police stations across the country.[10] The second conference, "Suicide and Law Enforcement," was held in September 1999.[11] There, she presented a paper, "Police Homicide/Suicide in Relation to Domestic Violence."[12]
One of Pam's most memorable moments in feminism was her participation on August 26, 1970 in the historic march down Fifth Avenue titled as, "The Women's Strike for Equality," in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of women winning the vote. She shares that it was when she observed the unexpectedly massive size and enthusiasm of the crowds who showed up that she realized they had a Movement. "Prior to that, we all believed that we were just a scattered group of women who were committed to women's equality but that we had not yet become inculcated into the culture or had mass and mainstream support."
