The 9/11 backlash against women
Terror swept women back into the kitchen, argues Susan Faludi, and tore open the worst scar in American history. But it's Bruce Springsteen who makes the fear so real.

  • Wind Dummies

    The answer to the question of why Bush has brought more women into power was answered by Collin Powell's characerization of the political role of EPA Administrator Christie Whitman:

    Wind Dummy!

    I would add: to serve as an excellent source of political cover. Whitman was a master while NJ Governor of doing green wash photo-ops - like hikes, canoe paddling, horseback riding, and bicycling - to mask her anti-environmental policies.

    At a psychological level, some might say the source of the Bush women's problem starts with his mom. But I'll leave that to more knowledgable sources.
