She was the executive vice-president and New York City office director of People for the American Way from 1981 until 2003.[2][3]

Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,[4] Handman was the wife of stage director and teacher Wynn Handman. In 1982, she helped organize Save the Theatres, an organization that tried unsuccessfully to prevent the razing of the Morosco, Helen Hayes, and Bijou Theaters.[5][6] In 1988, the group succeeded in having 28 Broadway houses designated as landmarks by the New York City Board of Estimate.[7]

Handman served on the board of the Eleanor Roosevelt Foundation and on the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial Commission.[8]

She was awarded the National Medal of Arts in 1998 for her work as an arts advocate.

Handman's daughter Laura Handman is married to Harold M. Ickes.[4]
