Take Marion Bartram, a 72-year-old retired orchard tender who as a West Chester school board member swears that she will fight to abolish the works of two Afro-American women writers--Jamaica Kincaid and Pulitizer-Prize winning Toni Morrison--from local public schools. In an interview with the Philadelphia Inquirer, she called Morrison "anti-family" and a "man-hater," and accused Kincaid of being a "woman's libber." West Chester school officials, who were attracted to both books partly because of the female protagonists, are embroiled in a debate over yanking the authors off school reading lists...

...depiction of their relationship, astonishingly devoid of stereotype, is the movie's greatest strength. The women interact in a manner that is tender and uncontrived, and neither is ever seen listening to Melissa Etheridge or reading Sisterhood Is Global.

Tender Loving Care, of course, is one possibility, and the group's enormously charming new CD, CrazySexyCool, is full of songs about women in search of love, caring and tenderness. Given the well-publicized travails of the group, however--Lopes is facing charges that she burned down her boyfriend's house, and Thomas is searching...

...asymmetry of the available insults reinforces the oft-noted dilemma of women in public life: how to be business-like without inviting perceptions like "ball-buster" or bitch. O.J. prosecutor Marcia Clark had to be remanded to the make-over salon where she was recoiffed and taught to make tender references to her offspring in public. Hillary Clinton, perhaps more than any woman in public life, has been subject to relentless review by the gender police. Even when she stood steadfastly by her man during the Gennifer Flowers incident, she was savaged for doing so with insufficient humility and possibly...
