Anita Hoffman

Hoffman helped her husband plan some of the most memorable pranks of the Yippie movement.

Hoffman edited a book published in 1976 of letters she and Abbie had written to each other from April 1974 through early March 1975 while Abbie was "underground" to avoid a prison sentence for allegedly selling cocaine, To America with Love: Letters From the Underground.

She authored the novel Trashing, which she wrote under the pseudonym Ann Fettamen.

[1] According to CNN, in "one of her most audacious moves, she went on a sort of diplomatic mission to Algeria to meet with Black Panther leader Eldridge Cleaver, and try to forge a coalition between the Panthers and the Yippies."

[2] Her life was dramatized in the 2000 film Steal This Movie, in which she was portrayed by Janeane Garofalo.
