Shulamith Firestone (circa 1945 - 2012) was a radical feminist, best-known for her 1970 work The Dialectic of Sex, which was a strong influence on theory around women's relations to children and parenting, and on Marge Piercy as she wrote Woman on the Edge of Time.
Firestone was paranoid-schizophrenic, and was isolated in her later years. She died in August, 2012, in her East Village Apartment.
