Erin Pizzey#Current work

She was born Erin Carney in Qingdao,Pizzey names Qingdao in China as the place where she was born and where her father was stationed (meaning China and not Qingdao, because her wording was corrected in the print edition of that interview in Der Spiegel 11/2023, p. 78) in [https://www.spiegel.de/familie/gruenderin-des-ersten-frauenhauses-ueber-haeusliche-gewalt-warum-erin-pizzey-den-feminismus-ablehnt-a-60f79ab5-ad8f-48f5-85b7-91dc84ce56d0 an interview for Der Spiegel on 8 March 2023] (accessed on March 9, 2023). In [https://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/profiles/passed-failed-an-education-in-the-life-of-erin-pizzey-women-s-refuge-founder-and-writer-778934.html an interview for The Independent published on 7 February 2008] (accessed on 9 March 2023), she had named Tianjin as the place where her father was stationed when she was born and again 10 years later when she was left by her parents at a boarding school in Britain. Given the increasing Anglo-Japanese tensions during the Second Sino-Japanese War when Tianjin was occupied by the Japanese (except for the foreign concessions) Pizzey's father might have sent his wife in late 1938 to still unoccupied Qingdao to give birth to his child. China, in 1939, along with her twin sister Rosaleen. Her father was a British diplomat and one of 17 children from a poor Irish family.{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=5JYrAQAAIAAJ&q=Pizzey|title=WORLD WHOS WHO OF WOMEN 1990/91|date=1 July 1990|publisher=Taylor & Francis|isbn=9780948875106|via=Google Books}} In 1942, the family moved to Shanghai; shortly thereafter, they were captured by the invading Japanese Army and exchanged for Japanese prisoners of war.{{Cite web|date=2008-02-07|title=Passed/Failed: An education in the life of Erin Pizzey, women's refuge|first=Jonathan|last=Sale|url=http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/profiles/passedfailed-an-education-in-the-life-of-erin-pizzey-womens-refuge-founder-and-writer-778934.html|access-date=2020-10-28|website=The Independent|language=en}} She is the sister of writer Daniel Carney, who settled in Rhodesia and is known for his 1978 novel The Wild Geese.{{cite news | url=http://www.richmondandtwickenhamtimes.co.uk/news/474992.print/ | title=We gave women back a sense of self | date=29 March 2004 | publisher=Newsquest Media Group | work=Richmond and Twickenham Times}}

Pizzey moved with her family to Kokstad in South Africa, then at the age of five, to Beirut. At the end of the war the family went to Toronto, Canada. They moved to Tehran, Iran, and finally settled in England in 1948. Pizzey attended St Antony's junior school and then Leweston School at the age of 11, gaining four O-levels. Her parents were posted to Africa, where she attended Dakar University, Senegal, studying French and English.{{cite web|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/profiles/passedfailed-an-education-in-the-life-of-erin-pizzey-womens-refuge-founder-and-writer-778934.html|title=Passed/Failed: An education in the life of Erin Pizzey, women's refuge|website=Independent.co.uk |date=7 February 2008}}

In 1959, Pizzey attended her first meeting at the UK's Liberation Movement (WLM) at the Chiswick house of a local organiser, Artemis{{who|date=May 2020}}{{cite book | last = Pizzey | first = Erin | title = This way to the revolution: a memoir | publisher = Peter Owen | location = London Chicago | year = 2011 | isbn = 9780720613605 }} [https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/829180547 Details.]{{rp|22}} At Artemis' urging, Pizzey agreed to convene a "consciousness-raising group" at her home in Goldhawk Road.{{rp|23}} This collective became the Goldhawk Road Group.{{rp|24}}

The head office of the Women's Liberation Workshop (a women's workshop within the WLM) was in Little Newport Street,{{rp|24}} in Chinatown, Covent Garden, straddling the City of Westminster and the Borough of Camden. Along with her friend, Alison, and other members of the Goldhawk Road Group, Pizzey found herself at odds with Artemis and Gladiator{{who|date=May 2020}}, who led a clique of younger women within the WLM Workshop head office.{{rp|27}} Pizzey distanced herself from this clique when she witnessed what she described as "irregular and disrespectful behaviour" towards the money donated by desperate women across the UK.{{rp|39}} She confronted them over this behaviour,{{rp|45}} which, according to her, included claiming that telephones were tapped, and labelling of people they did not like as MI5, police and CIA informers or agents.{{rp|39}} She also was concerned about overhearing discussion of plans to bomb the London store Biba; she reported on this to the police after warning the people involved. Subsequently, Pizzey became aware that the police had the group and offices under surveillance.{{rp|43}} Pizzey says that she and her fellow members of the Goldhawk Road group were seen as troublesome, because they did not accept others' behaviors and views.{{rp|34}}

Pizzey set up a women's refuge in Belmont Terrace, Chiswick, London, in 1971. She later opened a number of additional shelters, despite hostility from the authorities. She gained notoriety and publicity for setting up refuges by squatting, most notably in 1975 at the Palm Court Hotel in Richmond.{{cite book |last1=Renzetti |first1=Claire M. |last2=Edleson |first2=Jeffrey L. |title=Encyclopedia of Interpersonal Violence |date=2008 |publisher=SAGE Publications| pages = 126–127 |isbn=978-1-4522-6591-9 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=lP1yAwAAQBAJ&pg=PT161 |language=en}}{{cite news|title=Battered Wives Occupy Home|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=iCYzAAAAIBAJ&pg=3394%2C9685|work=The Miami News|date=11 November 1975|page=2A, Col 1}} {{Dead link|date=January 2017}}{{cite book|title=Social Work Today: Journal of the British Association of Social Workers| url = https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/797539316|year=1975|publisher=British Association of Social Workers.|page=596| oclc = 797539316}} [https://books.google.com/books?id=WLvnAAAAMAAJ&q=Chiswick+Women%27s+Aid Preview.] Pizzey's work was widely praised at the time. In 1975, MP Jack Ashley stated in the House of Commons that "The work of Mrs. Pizzey was pioneering work of the first order. It was she who first identified the problem, who first recognised the seriousness of the situation and who first did something practical by establishing the Chiswick aid centre. As a result of that magnificent pioneering work, the whole nation has now come to appreciate the significance of the problem".{{cite web|url=https://api.parliament.uk/historic-hansard/commons/1975/jul/11/battered-wives-rights-to-possession-of|title=Battered wives (rights to possession of matrimonial home) bill | work =Parliamentary Debates (Hansard) | date = 11 July 1975|access-date=9 June 2011}} While being prosecuted by local authorities{{Cite journal | last = Hoath | first = David C. | title = Notes on Cases (A Charitable Crime: Simmons v.

After Pizzey left Chiswick Women's Aid (renamed Chiswick Family Rescue on 31 March 1979), the organisation she had founded and moved abroad, it was rebranded as the charity Refuge on 5 March 1993.{{Cite web |date=2014-09-17 |title=Refuge Annual Report 2013-14 p.27 |url=http://www.refuge.org.uk/files/Refuge-annual-report-2013-2014.pdf |url-status=dead |access-date=2023-03-23 |website=Refuge |archive-date=30 August 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150830144536/http://www.refuge.org.uk/files/Refuge-annual-report-2013-2014.pdf }} Although Refuge traces its existence back to Chiswick Women's Aid, Pizzey's name could not be found anywhere on the Refuge website for many decades. It was not until 2 November 2020 that Sandra Horley, the chief executive of Refuge since 1983, mentioned Pizzey's name for the first time again on the Refuge website in a press release on her retirement.{{Cite web |last=Horley |first=Sandra |date=2020-11-02 |title=Message from Sandra Horley on her retirement |url=https://refuge.org.uk/news/message-from-sandra-horley-retirement/ |access-date=2023-03-23 |website=Refuge}}

Soon after establishing her first refuge, Pizzey asserted that much of the domestic violence was reciprocal.{{rp|82}} She reached this conclusion when she asked the women in her refuge about their violence, only to discover most of them were equally violent or more violent than their husbands. In her study Comparative Study of Battered Women And Violence-Prone Women,{{cite web | last = Pizzey | first = Erin |url=http://www.dvmen.org/dv-134.htm |title=A comparative study of battered women and violence-prone women |publisher=The Equal Justice Foundation (Domestic Violence Against Men in Colorado) |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160325135504/http://dvmen.org/dv-134.htm |archive-date=25 March 2016 | website = dvmen.org |date=2000 |url-status=dead |df=dmy }} (co-researched with John Gayford of Warlingham Hospital), Pizzey distinguished between "genuine battered women" and "violence-prone women"; the former defined as "the unwilling and innocent victim of his or her partner's violence" and the latter defined as "the unwilling victim of his or her own violence". This study reported that 62% of the sample population were more accurately described as "violence prone". Similar findings regarding the mutuality of domestic violence have been confirmed in subsequent studies.{{citation | title = References examining assaults by women on their spouses or male partners: an annotated bibliography | publisher = California State University, Long Beach | date = June 2012 }}

In her book Prone to Violence, Pizzey expressed concern that so little attention was paid to the causes of interpersonal and family violence, stating, "to my amazement, nobody seemed to genuinely want to find out why violent people treat each other the way they do".{{Cite book|title=Prone to violence|first1=Erin|last1=Pizzey|first2=Jeff|last2=Shapiro|date=16 February 1982|publisher=Hamlyn|oclc = 39897534}} She also expressed concern for the view expressed by government officials that solutions to the issue of domestic abuse and violence could be found in socialist or communist countries. Pizzey pointed out that marital violence was a great problem in Russia, and China addressed the issue by proclaiming wife-beating a crime punishable by death sentence. The book looks at what appeared to be learned behaviour, often starting in childhood, linked to hormonal responses. Pizzey describes such behaviour as akin to addiction.

She speculates that high levels of hormones and neurochemicals associated with pervasive childhood trauma led to adults who repeatedly engage in violent altercations with intimate partners despite the physical, emotional, legal and financial costs, in unwitting attempts to simulate the emotional impact of traumatic childhood experiences and manifest the learned biochemical state linked to pleasure. The book contains numerous stories of disturbed families, alongside a discussion of the reasons why the modern state care-taking agencies are largely ineffective. Promotional events for the book were met with protest,{{cite news|last1=Bateman|first1=Derek|title=Women denounce pain addiction book|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=dsNAAAAAIBAJ&pg=4270%2C4987636|work=The Glasgow Herald|date=26 October 1982|page=6}} and Pizzey reports that she herself and co-author Jeff Shapiro needed police protection during the promotional events for the book.

In 1981, Pizzey moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico, while targeted by harassment, death threats, bomb threats{{cite news |last1=Pizzey |first1=Erin |title=Why did my grandson die? |url=https://www.theguardian.com/theobserver/2000/apr/09/featuresreview.review2 |work=The Observer |date=9 April 2000 |publisher=Guardian Media Group |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150930150042/http://www.theguardian.com/theobserver/2000/apr/09/featuresreview.review2/print |archive-date=30 September 2015 |url-status=dead |df=dmy }} and defamation campaigns,{{cite news|last1=Pizzey |first1=Erin |title=Who's failing the family |url=http://www.fathersforlife.org/pizzey/failfamt.htm |work=The Scotsman (via fathersforlife.org) |date=30 March 1999 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170122211526/http://www.fathersforlife.org/pizzey/failfamt.htm |archive-date=22 January 2017 |url-status=dead |df=dmy }} and dealing with overwork, near collapse, cardiac disease and mental strain.{{rp|275}} In particular, according to Pizzey, the charity Scottish Women's Aid "made it their business to hand out leaflets claiming that [she] believed that women 'invited violence' and 'provoked male violence'". She states that the turning point was the intervention of the bomb squad, who required all of her mail to be processed by them before she could receive it, as a "controversial public figure".{{rp|282}}{{Cite web|title=FOXNews.com - Feminists Deny Truth on Domestic Violence - Blog {{!}} Blogs {{!}} Popular Blogs|url=https://www.foxnews.com/printer_friendly_story/0,3566,197550,00.html|access-date=2020-10-28|website=Fox News}}

Having moved to Santa Fe to write, Pizzey promptly became involved in running a refuge in New Mexico, as well as dealing with sexual abusers and paedophiles. Pizzey said of this work, "I discovered that there were just as many women paedophiles as there were men. Women go undetected, as usual. Working against paedophiles is a very dangerous business."{{Cite web|url=http://www.civitas.org.uk/pdf/cs09.pdf|title=Pdf.}} While she was living in Santa Fe, one of her dogs was shot and two others were stolen, which she claims was a result of racist neighbours. Her family suffered new harassment following the publication of her 1982 book Prone to Violence. Pizzey links much of the harassment to militant feminists and their objections to her research, findings and work.{{cite news | last = McElroy | first = Wendy | author-link = Wendy McElroy | url = http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,197550,00.html | title = Feminists deny truth on domestic violence | date = 30 May 2006 | work = Fox News | publisher = Fox News Network | access-date = 2 January 2019 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20121018002944/http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,197550,00.html | archive-date = 18 October 2012 | url-status = dead | df = dmy-all }} Describing the harassment, Deborah Ross of The Independent wrote that "the feminist sisterhood went bonkers".

Following the abuse and threats in Santa Fe, Pizzey moved to Cayman Brac, Cayman Islands,{{cite book|title=The Cayman Islands Yearbook and Business Directory |year=1990|publisher=Cayman Free Press|page=43}} [https://books.google.com/books?id=XBhGAAAAYAAJ Details.] where she wrote with her second husband, Jeff Shapiro. Subsequently, she moved to Siena, Italy, where her writing and advocacy work continued. She returned to London in the spring of 1997, homeless due to debt and in increasingly poor health. Her insights are still sought by politicians and family pressure groups.{{Citation needed |date=July 2024}}

Pizzey is still active in helping victims of domestic violence. She has been a patron of the charity ManKind Initiative since 2004, when she received a Roger Witcomb Award.{{cite web |url=http://www.mankind.org.uk/newsevents.htm |title=News/Events – Roger Witcomb awards ceremony |access-date=2014-11-29 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20041206170904/http://www.mankind.org.uk/newsevents.htm |archive-date=6 December 2004 |df=dmy-all }} In March 2007, as a guest, she attended the ceremony of opening the first Arab refuge for victims of domestic violence in Bahrain.{{cite news | last = Pizzey | first = Erin | title = Children 'must be protected from domestic violence' | url = http://www.gulf-daily-news.com/NewsDetails.aspx?storyid=173956 | date = 23 March 2007 | work = Gulf Daily News | access-date = 13 September 2013 | archive-date = 6 December 2014 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20141206121257/http://www.gulf-daily-news.com/NewsDetails.aspx?storyid=173956 | url-status = dead }} ([http://www.sossandra.org/2007/03/23/gulf-daily-news-children-must-be-protected-from-domestic-violence/ Sossandra Mirror.])

In 2013, Pizzey joined the editorial and advisory board of the men's rights organisation A Voice for Men, serving as an Editor and DV Policy Advisor and from January to August wrote thirteen articles for the group's web site. Her two April 2013 articles pertained to two interviews she gave on the Reddit community "IAmA", in which she promoted her Facebook page, and the "AVFM Online Radio" podcast on BlogTalkRadio.April 2013 interviews on /r/IamA: [https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1cbrbs/hi_im_erin_pizzey_ask_me_anything/ 14th] and [https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1d7toq/hi_im_erin_pizzey_founder_of_the_first_womens/ 27th] She announced her first interview a week prior on /r/MensRights.[https://www.reddit.com/r/MensRights/comments/1bsqdy/ask_me_anything_planned/ Ask Me Anything planned] 6 April 2013 by Erin Pizzey

In November 2014, Pizzey became owner/manager of the AVFM WhiteRibbon.org website (since renamed Honest-Ribbon.org), which has been criticised by the original White Ribbon Campaign as "a copycat campaign articulating ... archaic views and denials about the realities of gender-based violence".{{cite web | url=http://whiteribbon.org/about/ | title=WhiteRibbon.org – Ending violence Against Everyone | website=whiteribbon.org | date=2015 | url-status=dead | archive-url=https://archive.today/20141111071838/http://whiteribbon.org/about/ | archive-date=11 November 2014 | df=dmy-all }}{{cite web |url=http://www.cosmopolitan.com/politics/news/a32452/antifeminist-site-white-ribbon/|title= Why Is an Anti-Feminist Website Impersonating a Domestic Violence Organization?| first=Jill|last=Filipovic|author-link=Jill Filipovic|date=24 October 2014 |work=Cosmopolitan |publisher = Hearst Communications |access-date=6 December 2014}}{{cite web|url=http://www.whiteribbon.ca/news/white-ribbon-copycat-statement//|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141026000826/http://www.whiteribbon.ca/news/white-ribbon-copycat-statement/|url-status=dead|archive-date=26 October 2014|title=White Ribbon Copycat Statement|first=Clay|last=Jones|date=23 October 2014|work=WhiteRibbon.ca}}

In 2009, Pizzey was successful in a libel case against Macmillan Publishers over content in the Andrew Marr book A History of Modern Britain. The publication had falsely claimed she had once been part of a militant group, The Angry Brigade, that staged bomb attacks in the 1970s.{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7976546.stm|title=Campaigner accepts libel damages|date=1 April 2009|work=BBC.co.uk|access-date=1 April 2009}} The publisher also recalled and destroyed the offending version of the book and republished it with the error removed.{{cite news| url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/books/booknews/5089062/Andrew-Marrs-publisher-pays-significant-damages-to-womens-campaigner.html | work=The Daily Telegraph | location=London | title=Andrew Marr's publisher pays 'significant' damages to women's campaigner | first=Stephen | last=Adams | date=1 April 2009 | access-date=2 May 2010}} The link to the Angry Brigade was made in 2001, in an interview with The Guardian, in which the article states that she was "thrown out" of the feminist movement after threatening to inform police about a planned bombing by the Angry Brigade of the clothes shop Biba.

Pizzey married Jack Pizzey in 1959. Jack Pizzey was a naval lieutenant whom she first met in Hong Kong. They had two children, a girl, Cleo, and a boy, Amos. She divorced him in 1976, and divorced her second husband, Jeff Scott Shapiro, in 1994. Pizzey lives in Twickenham, South West London.{{cite web|url=http://www.richmondandtwickenhamtimes.co.uk/news/9020206.Pizzey_calls_for_more_domestic_abuse_shelters|title=Pizzey calls for more domestic abuse shelters|website=Richmond and Twickenham Times|first=Christine|last=Fleming|date=12 May 2011 }} She was diagnosed with cancer in 2000.

In 2000, Pizzey's grandson Keita Craig, who had schizophrenia, hanged himself in a prison cell. Pizzey and her family campaigned against the coroner's verdict of death by hanging and in 2001 a jury at a second inquest unanimously found that Keita's death was contributed to by the neglect of prison staff. The case was the first to reach a verdict of neglect in a suicide case.{{cite news| url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/1593544.stm | work=BBC News | title=Prison neglect 'contributed to suicide' | date=11 October 2001}}
