Harriet Holter was ahead of her time, and influenced heavily all the research areas she ventured into, such as sex roles, family, sexualized violence, resistance to knowledge and gender perspectives on research and politics. In this article these contributions are presented, illustrated and discussed. It is further argued that the explanation for her particular voice and outstanding contribution to sociology and women's research can be found in her interdisciplinary background, her generation-gendered experiences, her siding with the oppressed and her ways of collaborating intellectually.
