I went to law school to do women's rights work and was active on women's issues at NYU Law School, raising issues of gender-bias in legal education and helping to found a Women's Rights Clinic. After graduating in 1973 and clerking, I worked as a staff attorney at the Center for Constitutional Rights ("CCR") in New York. In 1974, my colleague at CCR, Rhonda Copelon, and I were thrilled to be recruited to teach a course on Women and the Law at Brooklyn Law School as adjunct professors. We taught the course together until 1980, when my love of teaching led me to move to a full-time position as a staff attorney in the Constitutional Litigation Clinic at Rutgers Law School-Newark. In 1983, I moved to Brooklyn to teach Civil Procedure, Constitutional Law, and Women and the Law. By this time, ten years after I had graduated from law school, I was already part of a network of female law professors who had been active in women's rights, civil rights, and clinical teaching. So it is not surprising that the AALS Section on Women in Legal Education would become one of my homes in the legal academy, and that I would continue to be involved with issues concerning female faculty in legal education. Beginning in 1980, when I went to Rutgers, I was active in Section activities and programs at the AALS Annual Meeting. I was lucky that when I moved to Brooklyn, there were a number of female law teachers already on the faculty and that several were concerned with gender issues. I was also lucky that there was a loose regional group of female law professors in the New York area, the oldest of the regional groups of female law school faculty, the Metropolitan Women Law Teachers Association ("MWLTA"). I did not have to rely on the once-a-year AALS Annual Meeting to connect with other female law teachers. My colleague at Brooklyn, Maryellen Fullerton, chaired the MWLTA in 1985, and I took over the reins in 1986.

I wish to thank Manthia Diawara, Deborah Post and Barbara Lewis for their helpful comments. I especially want to thank Liz Schneider for undertaking what has proven to be, for me, a most generous, stimulating and productive collaboration. *** Rose L. Hoffer Professor of Law, Brooklyn Law School. This article is a revised version of the opening plenary session at the conference, "Transgressing Borders: Women's Bodies, Identities and Families," held at New England Law School on March 31, 2001. Thanks to Regina Austin for a very special experience of stimulating dialogue, collaboration and friendship that carried on Mary Joe's legacy. Thanks also to Judi Greenberg, Nan Hunter, Sylvia Law and Martha Minow for helpful comments, to Linda Gordon and Elinor Langer for useful conversation and to Lisa Pepe for helpful research assistance. The Brooklyn Law School Faculty Research Fund generously supported my work on this article. I. Mary Joe Frug was a professor at New England School of Law from 1981 to 1991. On April 4, 1991, she was murdered on the streets of Cambridge, Massachusetts, not far from the home that she shared with her husband Jerry and their children Stephen and Emily. Though her death was tragic, we believe that how she lived her life is more important than how she died. 2. This conference was jointly planned by Professors Judi Greenberg, New 1 NEW ENGLAND LAW REVIEW opening plenary session. In preparation for the conference, we reread Mary Joe's work, particularly her posthumously published Harvard Law Review article, A Postmodern Feminist Legal Manifesto, 3 and talked with each other about her and her ideas. We had some wonderful conversations generated by our memories of Mary Joe and her words. At the conference, we focused on our favorite quotes from the Manifesto (which we flashed on a screen for the audience to read) and offered our reactions and thoughts on them. Our conversations continued after the conference. We discussed a range of topics: anti-feminism, differences among feminists, style, sexuality, middle age, the material world, activism and law reform. Our musings about Mary Joe's Manifesto provoked reflections, improvisations against the backdrop of a common riff, on the contemporary state of feminism, which we share with you here. Regina: The conference was a homage to Mary Joe Frug's capacities as an academic impresario. She was instrumental in precipitating the breakaway moves of the FemCrits from the white male-dominated Conference on Critical Legal Studies, and in organizing FemCrit meetings both in Boston and around the country. Among the most pleasant memories I have of the year I spent in Cambridge as a visitor at Harvard Law School are of the dinners Mary Joe fed us and the conversations that erupted around her dining room table about everything under the feminist sun. Mary Joe is vivid in our memories because she had the capacity to focus on you, just you, and make you feel as if you were the most special person on earth at that particular moment. But as alive as she remains in our hearts as a leader, organizer, confidant, and girlfriend, Liz and I feared that our recollection of her as a thinker and intellectual nudge was fading. So we thought that we would return to what she said in her Postmodern Feminist Legal Manifesto, and thereby, in essence, give her the chance to set the agenda for our dialogue, to call us to account for ourselves and what we have been thinking and doing these past ten years, and to force us to consider what remains of the postmodern legal feminism she envisioned and the challenges that lie ahead. Liz and I came to the task from different places and arrive at somewhat different conclusions. Liz is an expert, activist, teacher, and theorist in the

Many of us who participated were part of this history, and Mary Joe Frug was as well. Since April 4, the day that the symposium was held, was the twelfth anniversary o fMary Joe's tragic death, Regina and I were asked by the conveners of this symposium to bring Mary Joe into our conversations. Mary Joe was a feminist law professor at New England Law School. She had previously taught at Villanova Law School, and before that she had been a legal writing instructor here at Columbia Law School. She was murdered on April 4, 1991, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where she lived. She was a dear friend of ours and Regina and I have both spoken and written on her work.
