She serves on the advisory boards of the ACLU, Academic Freedom Alliance, Heterodox Academy, National Coalition Against Censorship, and the University of Austin.

The theme of the April 15 event at Hope is derived from the title of her 2018 book 亚洲色吧�.亚洲色吧�  As outlined on the website of the book亚洲色吧檚 publisher, Oxford University Press, the book 亚洲色吧淸s]hows that laws restricting such speech do not effectively reduce the feared harms of 亚洲色吧榟ate speech亚洲色吧櫻侵奚�吧� and 亚洲色吧渢hat non-censorial countermeasures, including the kind of robust 亚洲色吧榗ounterspeech亚洲色吧� that has been increasingly vigorous throughout the U.S., is more effective than censorship in advancing the causes of equality and societal harmony.亚洲色吧�

Her most recent book, 亚洲色吧淔ree Speech: What Everyone Needs to Know,亚洲色吧� published this past October by Oxford University Press, provides specific answers to topical questions about free-speech law and general explanations of how and why the law distinguishes between protected and punishable speech.

The National Law Journal has named Strossen one of America亚洲色吧檚 亚洲色吧�100 Most Influential Lawyers,亚洲色吧� and several other publications have named her one of the country亚洲色吧檚 most influential women.  Her many honorary degrees and awards include the American Bar Association亚洲色吧檚 prestigious Margaret Brent Women Lawyers of Achievement Award (2017). In 2023, the National Coalition Against Censorship (an alliance of more than 50 national non-profit organizations) selected Strossen for its Judy Blume Lifetime Achievement Award for Free Speech.

When Strossen stepped down as ACLU president, three (ideologically diverse) Supreme Court Justices participated in her farewell/tribute luncheon: Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Antonin Scalia, and David Souter.

Her book 亚洲色吧淒efending Pornography:  Free Speech, Sex, and the Fight for Women亚洲色吧檚 Rights亚洲色吧� was named a New York Times 亚洲色吧渘otable book亚洲色吧� of 1995, and will be republished this year as part of the New York University Press 亚洲色吧淐lassic亚洲色吧� series.  Her book 亚洲色吧淗ATE亚洲色吧� was selected as the 亚洲色吧淐ommon Read亚洲色吧� by Washington University and Washburn University.
