Amy RichardsSpeaker and Booking Agent Information

After graduating cum laude from Barnard College in 1992 with a degree in Art History, Amy Richards embarked on an unexpected career as a feminist activist, writer, and organizer. What began as a summer project, Freedom Summer ’92, a cross-country voter registration drive, eventually led Amy to co-found the Third Wave Foundation, a national organization for young feminist activists between the ages of 15 and 30. Amy’s leadership and visionary work launched her as a primary spokesperson and leading voice for contemporary feminist issues.

Amy lectures at dozens of venues each year and contributes, though her writings and media appearances, to the current public conversations on feminism. She also consults to many organizations and initiatives, including being a consulting producer on the HBO documentary "Gloria Steinem: In Her Own Words" and an advisor to PBS documentary on the women’s movement in America, "MAKERS: Women Making America." Amy is also overseeing educational outreach for MAKERS and at work on a book to compliment the MAKER’s film and digital platform. Amy also works closely with Gloria Steinem on her writings.
