Wendy McElroy is a Canadian individualist anarchist and individualist feminist. Among feminists, she distinguishes herself as being sex-positive: defending the availability of pornography and condemning anti-pornography feminism campaigns. [1] She has also voiced criticism of obtuse, ineffective sexual harassment policies, particularly the zero-tolerance policies common to grade schools, which she considers to be "far too broad and vague" and lacking the sound research necessary to guide responsible policy-making decisions.[2]

McElroy wrote Queen Silver: The Godless Girl about her friend Queen Selections Silver. While Silver was a left-wing anarchist, they remained close despite vigorous political difference.

McElroy has a regular column on ifeminists.com as well as the Fox News website[3] and is a member of the Liberty and Power group weblog at the History News Network.
