Full Bio
Jackie Fox is a writer, speaker and Harvard-educated attorney whose work has appeared in the Huffington Post, Boing Boing and Listverse, among others. She is perhaps best known as Jackie Fox, bass-player for the groundbreaking ‘70s all-female rock band, The Runaways.
In July 2014, Fox revealed to The Huffington Post that in 1975 she had had been raped by The Runaways manager in front of others, including most of her former bandmates.
The story, The Lost Girls, quickly went viral, being shared over 80,000 times across social media. It was the most-read piece on all of The Huffington Post during the week it was published. Secondary reporting of the piece appeared all over the world, in publications such as The Washington Post, The Guardian, Entertainment Weekly, Salon, Billboard, The Los Angeles Times, Yahoo! Music, Rockol Italy and Rolling Stone Mexico.
New York Magazine’s Vulture blog called Fox’s story one of 2015’s most powerful examples of feminism in music saying:
It felt like we were really hearing [women’s stories] for the first time, as if we were finally ready to start — yes, start —letting go of the apathy (or worse, vitriol) often shown for women who speak up.
Since publication of The Lost Girls, Fox has become an in-demand speaker and media guest on the subject of sexual assault and bystander intervention, appearing on shows such as Crime Time, NPR’s The Madeleine Brand Show, CBC’s Q, Huffington Post Live and The Insider.
