About Phyllis Chesler
- Phyllis Chesler (born October 1, 1940) is an American writer, psychotherapist, and professor emerita of psychology and women's studies at the College of Staten Island (CUNY).
- She is known as a feminist psychologist, and is the author of 16 books, including the best-seller Women and Madness (1972).
- Chesler has written on topics such as gender, mental illness, divorce and child custody, surrogacy, second-wave feminism, pornography, prostitution, incest, and violence against women. In more recent years, Chesler has written several works on such subjects as anti-Semitism, Islam, and honor killings.
- Chesler argues that many western intellectuals, including leftists and feminists, have abandoned Western values in the name of multicultural relativism, and that this has led to an alliance with Islamists, an increase in anti-Semitism, and to the abandonment of Muslim women and religious minorities in Muslim-majority countries.
