Biography
[edit]Levine became an activist against apartheid when she was living in South Africa.[2] She was a member of the Progressive Federal Party[3] and elected to the Johannesburg City Council in 1977.[4] During her time on the Council, she filed motions to open institutions to all races and was actively involved with black trade organizations which led her to launch a black taxi drivers' cooperative.[4] She was a member of the Council until 1984[3] when she emigrated to the United States.[5] She became an educator where she taught in the English department at Milton Academy from 1986 until 2014.[6]
In 1989, Levine wrote Inside Apartheid: One Woman's Struggle in South Africa.[4] The book is a political memoir about opposition to the apartheid regime.[7] Levine also studied the Enneagram model and in 1999 published The Enneagram Intelligences: Understanding Personality for Effective Teaching and Learning. She followed up with the book Know Your Parenting Personality: How to Use the Enneagram to Become the Best Parent You Can Be in 2003, a book that discusses parenting styles based on a parent's individual personality.[8]
