Judith Miller was prominent for two reasons:

Firstly, as the daughter of Jacques Lacan, radical French psychoanalyst, and wife to prominent Lacanian Jacques-Alain Miller.

Secondly, as a Maoist philosophy lecturer at Vincennes in Paris, where her radicalism caused the official disaffiliation of the philosophy department, after she handed out course credit to someone she met on a bus, and subsequently publicly declared in a radio interview that the university is a capitalist institution, and that she would do everything she could to make it run as badly as possible. After this she was demoted by the French education department to a lycée teacher.
