Anne Pride started getting involved in feminist activism in 1968.[1] She joined the National Organization of Women (NOW) in 1969.[2] She served as editor of Do It NOW, NOW’s national newsletter from 1970 to 1976.[1] From 1975 to 1977, she was on the board of directors for NOW.[3]
As a NOW activist, in 1977 she used the term “Take Back the Night” in a memorial she read at an anti-violence rally in Pittsburgh.[4][5]
Pride was a founder of KNOW, Inc., which worked to publish feminist viewpoints.[6] In 1977, Pride became an associate of the Women’s Institute for Freedom of the Press (WIFP).[7]
Pride helped create one of the world’s first rape crisis centers, the Pittsburgh Action Against Rape (PAAR) in 1974.[3] She later became part of PAAR staff, starting in 1976.[3]
In the 1980s, she was the director of PAAR.[8] In 1980, Pride refused to give client interview notes to the defense attorney during a rape trial, citing confidentiality concerns.[8] She was found in contempt of court and the appeal was upheld by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.[8] The court case led to the creation of legislation in Pennsylvania which would ensure confidentiality for rape victims and counselors at crisis center.
