Lena Chen

is a reluctant sexpert, a feminist and queer advocate, and a walking case study on bad publicity. As a Harvard undergrad, she authored the blog Sex and the Ivy about her college sexcapades and misadventures. Her reputation has never quite recovered. Want to give her a book deal, send her hate mail, or misquote her in an article? Read her daily musings at The Ch!cktionary and check out her full bio.

I know I’ve been super MIA on the blog. My apologies! Feminist Coming Out Day is in a week and I’m literally spending every waking hour stuffing envelopes with t-shirts, posting new portraits to our website, and updating our Facebook and Twitter (both of which you should start following by the way, if you want to stay in-the-know about t-shirt giveaways). This campaign wouldn’t be possible without the passion and energy of students across the country. Our campus partners have been amazing at organizing their communities and making things happen! Check out the following events, including a panel that I’ll be speaking on, taking place at Harvard next week: We’re excited to announce the first of many events taking place on March 8th, 2011 (and the days that follow) as part of Feminist Coming Out Day. This one comes from Harvard University, our founding campus partner, and features a portrait gallery and an all-star panel of feminist bloggers from around the web!
