Joanne Marrow (January 22, 1945 – June 24, 2014) was an American clinical psychologist, author, feminist,[1] and advocate of LGBT rights.[2] She was a tenured professor of psychology at California State University, Sacramento (CSUS), where she taught the psychology of women and human sexuality for 30 years.[2] She helped establish Women Escaping a Violent Environment (WEAVE), a Sacramento-based shelter for women who are victims of domestic abuse.[1]

Marrow became part of a nationwide discussion in the United States regarding the limits of academic freedom,[3] after a guest lecture she delivered to an undergraduate psychology class at CSUS in December 1994 resulted in a student filing a $2.5 million sexual harassment claim against the university due to its content and presentation.[4][5]
