Biography
Chrislers perception towards women’s health started at a young age for her. When she was young, she found a passion for reading and later on desired to be a librarian; although she found a liking towards that career; Chrisler didn’t pursue her dreams to it and found a new passion towards publishing many books and finding her way to feminist psychology. She attended an all girls high school while growing up and reached college and identified herself as a feminist while participating in many organizations created by her community and campus. While growing up, she encountered many unfortunate events where she has faced gender discrimination and put her head toward the topic of women getting oppressed. This later led to her demonstrating her personal experience and developed a voice for those and gained confidence within what she believed in. Chrisler was the first person in her family to pursue a college education; while completing her undergraduate training at Fordham University in New York with an English major, transitioning to Psychology. She describes her passion for psychology as “falling in love” as it later led to her becoming an experimental scientist and announced her final major to be Psychology. After college she attended Yeshiva University, a Jewish University as it had the same learning experience as her catholic school. Outside of scholarly work, the scientist accomplished many things, such as creating writing sources on many different topics relating to women and their struggles, such as “Feminist Perspective on Weight Loss Therapy; Journal of Training and Practice in Professional Psychology”, and many other journals written to uplift and gain confidence for women to show that many people experience the same thing, not just you.v

Research
Chrisler created many books about uplifting women into having confidence in themselves. The books she has written have to do with weight loss therapy and how she is a feminist. The impact that she had on society is that the women reading these novels had a positive role model that believed that everyone is beautiful in all shapes and sizes, teaching them to be comfortable in their own skin.

Joan studied multiple things such as reproductive justice, psychology, and human rights. (P1 S1) These studies were important because it shows that her knowledge was more than one thing, people enjoyed reading her work because she gained so much knowledge from learning and grasping information on different things.
