Andrew Golis
Andrew Golis is the husband of feminist evangelist & author, Jessica Valenti. He and his blogger wife, woke up to a horrible threat made against their small daughter.
Valenti revealed on her Twitter account she was taking a break from social media, after she received rape and death threats directed to her five-year-old.
Andrew’s wife happens to be a leading and influential voice in the feminist world. She is a columnist at the Guardian US. and the award-winning founder of Feministing.com.
A wife and mother, Valenti is also a New York Times bestselling author and a sought-after speaker. She is the author of four books on feminism, politics and culture. Her newest book is, Sex Object.
You might have seen her on TV as well. Valenti often appears offering commentary by the likes of Stephen Colbert, CNN and MSNBC. Last year however, she admitted if she had to do it again, she’d considered anonymity. The around-the-clock abuse has taken its toll.
Jessica Valenti was born on November 1, 1978. She received her Masters degree in Women’s and Gender Studies from Rutgers University. 
Jessica founded Feministing.com, which Columbia Journalism Review called “head and shoulders above almost any writing on women’s issues in mainstream media.” Her writing has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Nation, and others.
She has won an IBIS Reproductive Health Evidence in Activism Award, a Choice USA Generation award and the 2011 Hillman Journalism Prize for her work with Feministing.
But no matter how little she thought of marriage and whole notion about a woman belonging to a man, she ended in the same path.
