In reply to the discussion: Women Supporting Women Not so much [View all]no_hypocrisy
(53,281 posts)33. I'm compartmentalizing.
Not forgiving her at all. But she did accomplish in her life what many women at the time couldn't do. such as enroll and graduate from law school when maybe 98% of students were male, and speaking for herself. Even in 1978, many married women didn't even use their own names. They were "Mrs. (husband's first and last name)". I know as I witnessed my mother with a masters degree struggle for her own autonomy.
I'm also no fan of Clare Boothe Luce. But I recognize her accomplishments. Like Schlafly, she was no feminist and didn't try to help other women (and you'd think she had some insight after writing The Women).

How pitiful and lost their religion is that they need to resort to these tactics.

Any woman who is "anti-feminist" isn't deserving of any support from other women.
