Although she received her doctorate from Rutgers in 1965, Sonia Johnson is prouder of her 1979 graduation summa cum laude from the Mormon church, the world's foremost university for patriarchal studies.
Catapulted overnight into national prominence, she became a radical feminist, agitating, writing, and establishing a reputation for being one of the great orators of our time. Since her excommunication, she has been speaking professionally at colleges and universities and for a wide variety of organizations and groups.
Her first book, From Housewife to Heretic, the story of the excommunication, was published by Doubleday in 1980 and has now been reissued by Wildfire Books. Her second, Going Out of Our Minds: The Metaphysics of Liberation, a revolutionary theory of change, was published in 1987 by The Crossing Press.
