Mary Joe Frug (née Gaw; 1941 – April 4, 1991) was a professor at New England Law Boston, and a leading feminist legal scholar. She is considered a forerunner of legal postmodern feminist theory. Much of her work was collected in the posthumously-published book, Postmodern Legal Feminism. She is the author of the casebook Women and the Law.[1]
On April 4, 1991, Frug was murdered on the streets of Cambridge, Massachusetts, near the home that she shared with her husband, Harvard Law professor Gerald Frug, and their two children. The murder remains unsolved.
