based online global m agazine, is
aw arded to passionate trailblazers
all over the world w ho “stand out
for their extraordinary visions and
com m itm ent to working on behalf
o f w om en.’’
M itchell, who was nom inated
last year for the Pulitzer Prize for
com m entary, si lently suffered from
psychological abuse for several
years. Now. she intends to spend
the rest of her life educating other
w omen about it and then helping
them heal from it.
An engaging perform ance art
ist, M itchell recently perf orm ed her
poetry with a six-piece band that
included relocated m usicians from
New O rleans. The Dec. 3 event
ra is e d m o re th a n $ 3 ,0 0 0 fo r
Portland’s Bradley-A ngle House,
a dom estic-violence shelter.
“I'v e never experienced any
thing like her presentation,” says
m usician and activist Larry W ilder,
band leader o f the C olum bia C ut
u p s b lu e g ra s s b a n d . " It w as
th o u g h t-p ro v o k in g , deep ly c re

“ I am honored to receive this
amazing award.” says Mitchell, who
is also a publisher, playw right, col
lege professor, jew elry m aker and
single m other o f three children. “If
w omen need to hear my story to
have the courage to tell their own,
then so be it. W ith G o d ’s help, let
healing begin with my shoulder.”
Em otional and verbal abuse is a
pattern o f behavior com m itted by
one partner against the other with
the goal o f exerting and m aintain
ing power. For the victim , it saps
their energy, com prom ises their
health and erodes their self-esteem.
