Still active in the radical community, she was involved in anti-nuclear testing protests as well as in supporting clemency for convicted spies, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. From 1957, she worked as an executive secretary at the University of California, Berkeley, but after violence was used against student protesters at People's Park in 1969, she left her job and enrolled as a student. She completed a bachelor's degree in political theory in 1972 and the following year, moved to the University of California, Santa Cruz to work on her PhD. Frantz and her husband each changed romantic partners when she moved to Santa Cruz, Eleanor Engstrand becoming her new companion. At UC Santa Cruz, as one of the founders of the Women's Studies Department, she served on the Women's Studies Executive Committee and was a member of the Board of Directors of the Women's Center. She taught there from 1973 to 1999 and received two teaching awards. Her life of activism was included in the 1983 documentary film, ''Seeing Red''. Provided by Wikipedia
