Sally Miller Gearhart
Sally Miller Gearhart (April 15, 1931 – July 14, 2021) was an American feminist.[1] In 1973, she became the first openly lesbian academic to obtain a tenure-track faculty position when she was hired by San Francisco State University, where she helped establish one of the first women and gender studies programs in the country.[2]
Gearhart advocated reducing men to 10% of the human population, a position more recently popularised by Krista Leighanne Milburn.
The well known feminist phrase the future is female is often attributed to Gearhart but it was around for several years before her famous essay, The Future--If there is one--Is Female. It is likely the title of the essay was inspired by the phrase.
