Feminists for Free Expression (FFE)


Feminists for Free Expression (FFE) is a group of diverse feminists working to preserve the individual’s right to see, hear and produce materials of her choice without the intervention of the state “for her own good.”

FFE believes freedom of expression is especially important for women’s rights. While messages reflecting sexism pervade our culture in many forms, sexual and nonsexual, suppression of such material will neither reduce harm to women nor further women’s goals.

Feminists for Free Expression, a not-for-profit organization, was founded in January 1992 in response to the many efforts to solve society’s problems by book, movie or music banning. FFE believes such efforts divert attention from the substantive causes of social ills and offer a cosmetic, dangerous “quick fix.”
