Christina Sommers was born on September 28, 1950 in Petaluma, California, United States, to Dolores and Kenneth Hoff.
Christina earned a Bachelor of Arts at New York University in 1971, and a Doctor of Philosophy in philosophy from Brandeis University in 1979.
From 1978 to 1980, Sommers was an instructor at the University of Massachusetts at Boston. In 1980, she became an assistant professor of philosophy at Clark University, and was promoted to associate professor in 1986. Sommers remained at Clark until 1997, when she became the W.H Brady fellow at the American Enterprise Institute.
Sommers is a member of the Board of Advisors of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education. She has served on the national advisory board of the Independent Women's Forum and the Center of the American Experiment. Sommers has written articles for Time magazine, The Huffington Post, The Atlantic, Slate, and The New York Times. At the AEI she currently makes the weekly "Factual Feminist" video blog. Sommers has created several short videos for the conservative website Prager University. Her videos focus on feminism and gender equality.
She is Jewish.
Sommers said in 2014 that she is a registered Democrat "with libertarian leanings".
She characterizes gender feminism as having transcended the liberalism of early feminists so that instead of focusing on rights for all, gender feminists view society through the sex/gender prism and focus on recruiting women to join the struggle against patriarchy.
Sommers supports legally recognizing same-sex marriages, and has called abortion "a fundamental moral dilemma".
Quotations: The perspective now, from my point of view, is that the better things get for women, the angrier the women's studies professors seem to be, the more depressed Gloria Steinem seems to get.
Sommers married the Harry A. Wolfson Chair in Philosophy at Brandeis University, Fred Sommers, in 1981, and was widowed in 2014. She has two sons, Tamler and David.
