Why She is an Expert:
Ms. Glascoff is relentless and thorough; she doesn't seek credit for her research. She reads nonstop and frequently contacts media, politicians and other key people. Says Ms. Glascoff, “When I am 100% sure of a crying need, I relentlessly pursue it.”

Best Advice:
“Be as compassionate and constructive as you can. Compromise. Don’t call the child bad, call the act bad. Seek moratoriums on technological innovation in favor of human cooperative innovation for a year or less. Request cost analyses regarding dysfunctional courts. On April 23, http://www.tennessean.com reported failure to address child abuse just in 2007 cost Tennessee $676 million and that one dollar of prevention is estimated to save four dollars later on.”

Passionate about:
“Human rights. We can’t be pro-human unless we emphasize positive aspects of differences, especially gender-related. Enlightened men acknowledge that emotional, physical, and financial abuse is primarily male-initiated. Another issue, excessive CEO pay, has a rippling effect on housing costs, foreclosure issues and others’ pay rates - hence diluting purchasing power. This is enabled via legal shenanigans. Regarding healthcare, we need appropriate capping of legal liability; living wills for all; and far more comfort care versus aggressive care – without fear of suit. Insufficient attention is given to the educational needs of the children of divorce. They have higher dropout rates, are more disruptive, have problems, including more health issues, often exacerbated by dysfunctional courts. We must increase dialogue in schools and throughout society regarding conflict management and the challenges of good partnering and parenting. Since first impressions are key, smaller class size for K-3 would fund itself.”

Biography Excerpt:
For nearly 40 years, public advocacy agent Susan Titus Glascoff has acted as a tireless catalyst for equality and legal accountability. She urges media and government officials to inform the public about issues she feels are compounding out of control. Her current focus is requiring accountability in all our courts regarding healthcare, business and education, but especially the impact on families in divorce courts. “Credible statistics prove entire families become impoverished, but primarily mothers and children,” she says.

Cambridge Who's Who: What is the most rewarding aspect of your career?  
SUSAN TITUS GLASCOFF :  My persistent, broad-based approach is among voices awakening people to this urgency I proclaim. Survival depends on addressing gender misunderstandings and all that embodies. Statistics show that 51% of women today are unmarried; also, that people aged 25-45 take 10-20 years longer to settle down.

Is there something you’re most proud of?
Since I only seek results, not credit, it’s hard to quantify. I prepared a huge national research project (Assessing the Big Picture Re: Urgent Need for Broad Family Court Reform) in 2005, about how unfair courts are harming divorcing families - especially women and children. Currently, the recipients exceed 100, including 21 senators. Some responded directly, including Barack Obama.

What is the most difficult obstacle or challenge you have faced in pursuit of your goals?
Public incredulity and apathy due to the media’s failure to inform; impoverishment of women and loss of custody – sometimes to abusers. A Presidential Task Force study discovered abusers are twice as likely to seek custody; another study found that 70% of them get it. In a 2000 census with statistics about divorced women, lifestyle drops 45% (on average), with those 63 and older among our poorest.
