Remember when Pat Robertson told us at the 1992 Republican National Convention that feminism "encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians?" Well imagine my surprise last summer when I attended the FMF's annual summer intern event and found a room full of friendly young women who made no attempt to slaughter, maul, or otherwise attack me for possessing a certain appendage. Well, this Wednesday, July 26, FMF is hosting yet another kick-ass event. Held at the Dirksen Senate Office Building (Room G50), the event will focus on encouraging women to participate in politics - on the campus, local and eventually national levels. Barbara Boxer, who rocks the power suit like no other, will speak, as will FMF's President and a US Congresswoman. The fun begins at 3 PM. Call 703.522.2215 with questions. I'll see you there!
