In Memoriam: Phineas Indritz (1916-1997)

He helped Martha Griffiths research and write major pro-feminist speeches, worked behind the scenes with Catherine East, Mary Eastwood, Marguerite Rawalt and Betty Friedan to motivate the founding of NOW. Through NOW's legal committee, he and Rawalt obtained the overthrow of Pennsylvania's Muncy Act, which had mandated longer sentences for women prisoners than for men, wrote briefs for school desegregation cases, and authored the Pregnancy Disability Act of 1978.
