FLASHBACK: Hypocrisy Of N.O.W.--Why Tammy Bruce Resigned
By Shawn Hubler, May 7, 2014, Latimes.com
Tammy Bruce, the outspoken and provocative president of the National Organization for Women's Los Angeles chapter, announced her resignation Monday, five months after she was publicly called on the carpet by NOW's national president for her comments on race in the wake of the O.J. Simpson case.
Bruce, who garnered national attention with her condemnation of Simpson's acquittal, said she is quitting to launch a new national nonprofit organization dedicated to women's and children's rights.
Working with her at the helm of the nascent Women's Progress Alliance, she said, will be Denise Brown--sister of Simpson's slain ex-wife, Nicole. The Mid-Wilshire-based organization, which also will have offices in New York and Washington, will focus on domestic violence, women's health issues, family equity and the image of women in the media, Bruce said.
"We both have been controversial," Bruce acknowledged, "and we both will remain controversial. . . . We also are both people who will not be defined by men who would like to discredit women who call attention to the truth."
