...someone who claims she "knows something about the various strains of feminism," Kelly A. Bowdren could have fooled me. Contrary to what she might think, in her opinion piece entitled "With Friends Like These..." (The Crimson 12/8/93), Bowdren presents an interpretation of "feminism" similarly narrow in scope to that which she criticizes, proposed in a Lighthouse magazine article by Karen E. Boyle...
...record straight, for anyone who has and will misconstrue the term: "feminism" has many different strands and meanings, and cannot be pigeonholed into one narrow definition. While Bowdren admits that feminists form a "disparate group," she continues to address and reject one kind of feminism, that which includes Boyle's superwoman/have-it-all idea. In reality, there are liberal enlightenment feminists, cultural feminists, radical feminists, and more.

...being an "extraordinarily narrow specialist," anyone who is familiar with either Professor Stager's work or the program of the Harvard NELC Department (from which Professor Stager received his A.B. and Ph.D.) would know that this statement is utterly preposterous. Professor Stager is an accomplished archaeologist, historian and biblical scholar with numerous years of experience in education and excavation. In short, the personal attacks upon Professor Stager have been unfounded, inappropriate and indicative of The Crimson's Knee-jerk response to actions of the Harvard administration...
...museum is also the victim of a director who demonstrated no desire to see the museum survive in its present form. Dorot Professor of Archaeology of Israel Lawrence E. Stager '65, who led the review committee, showed little interest in the museum's activities beyond his own narrow field of Biblical archaeology. Stager wants to direct the museum's resources solely toward his own academic pursuits at the expense of the rest of the museum. He also completely neglected fundraising, according to eight museum staff members and according to Peretz, a financial contributor...
