Jan Lisa Huttner (born December 10, 1951) is an award-winning American film critic, journalist and activist. Huttner has authored numerous columns for both independent and prominent publications that include: The Huffington Post, JUF News, World Jewish Digest, Reel Chicago, and WomenArts. In addition to both the Empire State Virtual and Chicago Branches of the American Association of University Women, Huttner belongs to the National Federation of Press Women, New York Film Critics Online, and the Women Film Critics Circle. An outspoken advocate for women artists, particularly in cinema, Huttner conducts interviews with prominent female screenwriters and directors with the goal to heighten the exposure of female filmmakers. She is also known for her role in the inception of the WITASWAN (Women In The Audience Supporting Women Artists Now) initiative, a grassroots movement designed to bring attention to women artists all over the world. Additionally Huttner was also one of the main proponents of Jane Addams Day, which was officially adopted by the State of Illinois on December 10, 2007. Huttner also serves as managing editor of Films42.com, a website that she and her husband, Richard Miller, created in 2000. Her blog, “The Hot Pink Pen” (AKA: Penny) is devoted entirely to reviewing films by women filmmakers, and Huttner’s book, “Penny’s Picks: 50 Movies by Women Filmmakers 2002-2011”, is considered a “must read” by serious movie buffs – regardless of gender. ==Early life and career== Jan Lisa Huttner was born on December 10, 1951 at the Beth Israel Hospital in Newark, NJ to parents Eddie Huttner and Helene () Huttner. The family moved to Livingston, NJ, in 1960, where Huttner had her Bat Mitzvah at Temple Beth Shalom in 1964, and graduated from Livingston High School in 1969. Eddie Huttner's lifelong involvement with the Painters District Council 10 led to Huttner's first job as a pension/welfare clerk throughout her high school and early college years, which helped to shape her passionate political views. After receiving her B.A. from St. John’s College in Annapolis, Maryland (aka the "Great Books School") in 1973, Huttner subsequently earned two master's degrees in Psychology: one from Harvard University and another from the University of Chicago.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.shesource.org/experts/profile/jan-lisa-huttner )〕 While working on her Ph.D. at University of Chicago (where she was a member of the Committee on the Conceptual Foundations of Science), Huttner took a part-time job at the University of Chicago Medical Center where she was eventually asked to serve as Coordinator of Training for one of UCMC's first large computer conversions. For nearly 20 years after this, Huttner traveled the U.S.A. working as a healthcare computer system consultant (first at Coopers & Lybrand, then KPMG Peat Marwick, then Superior Consultant Company) before turning the page to her new careers as a film critic/feminist activist in 2002. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jan Lisa Huttner」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
