An expert on stuttering and how it can end, Consultant Miriam Mondlin is the author of the landmark article "How My Stuttering Ended," which was given as part of a public seminar at the Aesthetic Realism Foundation titled "What Interferes with Your True Expression?" In it, she tells what she learned from Eli Siegel and Aesthetic Realism about the cause of this impediment and describes the scientific process that ended her stuttering. Listed in guides to the best stuttering websites, she has been published on "The Stuttering Homepage" of the Minnesota State University as well as CAPS, the website of the Canadian Association for People Who Stutter, and newspapers such as The Rock Island Argus.

She began her study in classes with Eli Siegel in 1952, where she learned that to understand the cause of stuttering in the widest sense includes a deeper understanding of many other things, including economics, the arts, and the family.

Early in her life, growing up during the Great Depression and World War II, she saw racial injustice and experienced economic injustice, and wanted to fight for people's rights.  Through her study, she learned the cause of the injustices she saw first hand: the desire for contempt—"the lessening of what is different from oneself as a means of self-increase as one sees it," as Eli Siegel explained. This knowledge has strengthened her conviction about what people deserve everywhere in the world.

For many years she worked as a staff member of Local 23-25 of the International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union (now UNITE HERE!). This is the Local that represented garment workers in the sweatshops of New York City. "It needs to be seen," she writes, "that unions are vital to the well-being of Americans. They are central in getting people decent wages, health care, job security, safer working conditions. I have seen that when unions are strong, working people are much better off. I continue to be a union activist."

Over the years, Ms. Mondlin's care for art has flourished, as she took courses at the Art Students League and the Aesthetic Realism Foundation, studies works of art independently and visits museums and galleries.

Articles by Miriam Mondlin about the fundamental rights of people have been published, including the following, which are on her website:

"No Child Should Go Hungry in America!"
"Real Welfare Reform Impact"
"Women's Health Care: A Fundamental Right!"

Her study continues in classes taught by Ellen Reiss, the Class Chairman of Aesthetic Realism.
