Elizabeth Fox-Genovese

[dhenwood@xxxxxxxxx (Doug Henwood)]

I just got the press pack from the Independent Women's Forum, the
Washginton-based right-wing women's group headed by Barbara Ledeen, wife of
the notorious covert operator Michael Ledeen. The IWF is funded in part by
the Bradley Foundation, one of the major funders of the big-time right.
Elizabeth Fox-Genovese has joined the advisory board for their journal, and
she also appears in their guide of experts along with Sheila Burke, Bob
Dole's chief of staff; Wendy Lee Gramm, free marketeer and spouse of Phil;
and hip Gen X rightists Laura Ingraham and Lisa Schiffren; a number of
Republican staffers at Congressional committees; and a biger number of
think tanks at the usual places, from Heritage to the property rights
theorists at PERC in Bozeman, Mont. E F-G modestly lists herself as an
expert in: "Children & Family, Family Leave & Child Care, Education,
Welfare, Ethics & Religion, Feminist Ideology, Health: General, Health:
Ethics, Health: Women's, Popular Culture, Public Policy, Race & Ethnicity,
Affirmative Acdtion & Equal Opportunity, Glass Ceiling, Multiculturalism,
Sexual Harassment, Civil Rights, Economic Policy/Budget, Legal Issues/The
Law, Politics." I've not measured this scientifically but this list looks
longer than any other entrant's.

This comes upon news that E F-G's spouse, Eugene, in one evening in 1992
announced that he: 1) planned to vote for Bush, 2) loved the Gulf War, and
3) praised Pat Robertson as "a good anti-racist."
