    A Study of the Weathermen, Radical Feminism and the New Left

    Exploring Women’s Complex Relationship with Political Violence: A Study of the Weathermen, Radical Feminism and the New Left by Lindsey Blake Churchill A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Women’s Studies College of Arts and Sciences University of South Florida Major Professor: Marilyn Myerson, Ph.D. Ruth Banes, Ph.D. Sara Crawley, Ph.D. Date of Approval: April 1, 2005 Keywords: revolution, weather underground, valerie solanas, robin morgan, jane alpert, gilda zwerman, ti-grace atkinson, bernadine dohrn © Copyright 2005, Lindsey Blake Churchill Table of Contents Abstract ii Introduction 1 Chapter One: SDS 7 The Explosive Convention 11 Wannabe Revolutionaries 18 Chapter Two: Feminism’s Critique 24 Radical-Cultural Feminism 30 Pacifist Feminists 33 Chapter Three: Violent Feminists 35 Female Terrorists 42 Chapter Four: Conclusion 52 References 54 i Exploring Women’s Complex Relationship with Violence: A Study of the Weathermen, Radical Feminism and the New Left Lindsey Blake Churchill ABSTRACT In this thesis I use the radical, pro-violent organization the Weathermen as a framework to examine women and feminism’s complex relationships with violence. My thesis attempts to show the many belief systems that second wave feminists possessed concerning the role(s) of women and violence in revolutionary organizations. Hence, by using the Weathermen as a framework, I discuss various feminist essentialist and pacifist critiques of violence. I also include an analysis of feminists who, similar to the Weathermen, embraced political violence. For example, radical feminists Robin Morgan and Jane Alpert criticized the Weathermen’s violent tactics while other feminists such as Ti-Grace Atkinson and Valerie Solanas advocated that women “pick up the gun” in order to destroy patriarchal society.

    Voices of Feminism Oral History Project Sophia Smith Collection, Smith College Northampton, MA BARBARA WINSLOW Interviewed by KATE WEIGAND May 3–4, 2004 Williamstown, Massachusetts This interview was made possible with generous support from the Ford Foundation. © Sophia Smith Collection 2004 Narrator Barbara Winslow (b. 1945) grew up in Scarsdale, New York. She attended Antioch College for three years but graduated from the University of Washington with a B.A. in 1968 and a Ph.D. in history in 1972. A student and antiwar activist, she was instrumental in founding Women’s Liberation Seattle and was heavily involved in grassroots feminist activity, particularly reproductive rights, in Seattle, Detroit, Cleveland, and New York City. Active in socialist and feminist politics for many years, Winslow was also at the forefront of the movement to integrate women, African Americans, and the working class into the teaching of history in the 1970s. She is currently teaching history and women’s studies at Brooklyn College. Interviewer Kate Weigand (b. 1965) has a Ph.D. in women’s history and U.S. history from Ohio State University. She is author of Red Feminism: American Communism and the Making of Women’s Liberation (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2001). Abstract In this oral history Barbara Winslow describes her privileged childhood Westchester County, New York, and at Solebury Academy in Pennsylvania. The interview focuses on Winslow’s activism as a socialist, a feminist, and a historian. Her story documents the life of a socialist activist and feminist and the challenges that come with combining those two identities with one another.

    Introduction 1

    Notes Introduction 1. Cooper (1979, 152–53). 2. In the vast literature that emerged in response to September 11, 2001, the gendering of both terrorist practice and terrorist subjectivity has gone largely ignored, reflecting a more generalized neglect of the study of the gendering of terrorism. The small number of feminist and queer analyses of terrorism include, for example, Hawthorne and Winter, eds. (2002); Morgan (2001); and Puar (2007). 3. Cooper (1979, 152–53). 4. I Shot Andy Warhol, directed by Mary Harron (Los Angeles: Orion Pictures/Samuel Goldwyn Company, 1996), 35mm film. 5. Soliah’s sentence was passed down amid the human rights scandal concerning the extraterritorial detention center at Guantanamo Bay. 6. Guerrilla: The Taking of Patty Hearst, directed by Robert Stone (New York: Magnolia Pictures/New Video Group, 2003) 35mm film;The Weather Underground, directed by Sam Green and Bill Siegel (Sausalito, CA: Roco Films, 2002), 35mm film. Guerrilla represents Patricia Hearst’s terrorist metamorphosis, which is discussed in detail later in this book. 7. Berendse and Cornils (2008, 7). 8. Berendse and Cornils (2008, 14). 9. I have placed “radically unfamiliar” in quotation marks here because, although the events of September 11 were most often encoded in dominant cultural representa- tions as “extra-ordinary” and “unfamiliar,” part of terrorism’s ability to generate affect lies in its invocation of the “familiar” Western imagining of the end of society (see Chapter Four). 10. For example, Cronin and Ludes, eds. (2004) collate the views of “some of the world’s finest experts, people who have made the study of this rising menace their life’s work” (“Attacking Terrorism,” Georgetown University Press online, accessed 28 March 2014, http://press.georgetown.edu/book/georgetown/attacking- terrorism); and Rapoport, ed.

    H-1960s Cannato on Braudy, 'Family Circle: The Boudins and the Aristocracy of the Left' Review published on Tuesday, June 1, 2004 Susan Braudy. Family Circle: The Boudins and the Aristocracy of the Left. New York: Knopf Publishing Group, 2003. xxiv + 460 pp. $27.95 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-679-43294-4. Reviewed by Vincent Cannato (Department of History, University of Massachusetts, Boston) Published on H-1960s (June, 2004) Left-Wing Aristocrats? What do left-wing journalist I. F. Stone and rapper Tupac Shakur have in common? This unlikely pairing will make sense after reading Susan Braudy'sFamily Circle, a history of former Weather Underground member Kathy Boudin and her illustrious radical family. Family Circle is a Gothic family drama wrapped around a political morality tale. Braudy works backwards from Boudin's imprisonment in a Bedford Hills, New York, prison for her part in the 1981 Brinks robbery that left three people dead. In the process, Braudy draws a convincing portrait of both the Boudin family and the left-wing social and intellectual set in which they moved. The book's central question is: How did Kathy Boudin, the daughter of a prominent lawyer, get involved in such a mess? Braudy begins her tale with Louis B. Boudin, a socialist labor lawyer, and the uncle of Kathy's father, famed civil-liberties lawyer Leonard Boudin. Relying heavily on interviews, most centrally those with Jean Boudin, Leonard's wife and Kathy's mother, Braudy paints a picture of a dysfunctional family rooted in the world of the American intellectual Left.

    Psychology of Terrorism: a Public Understanding (Vol

    Methodology We have defined terrorism here as “acts of violence intentionally perpetrated on civilian non- combatants with the goal of furthering some ideological, religious or political objective.” Our principal focus is on non-state actors. Our task was to identify and analyze the scientific and professional social science literature pertaining to the psychological and/or behavioral dimensions of terrorist behavior (not on victimization or effects). Our objectives were to explore what questions pertaining to terrorist groups and behavior had been asked by social science researchers; to identify the main findings from that research; and attempt to distill and summarize them within a framework of operationally relevant questions. Search Strategy To identify the relevant social science literature, we began by searching a series of major academic databases using a systematic, iterative keyword strategy, mapping, where possible onto existing subject headings. The focus was on locating professional social science literature published in major books or in peer-reviewed journals. The following database searches were conducted in October, 2003. • Sociofile/Sociological Abstracts • Criminal Justice Abstracts (CJ Abstracts) • Criminal Justice Periodical Index (CJPI) • National Criminal Justice Reference Service Abstracts (NCJRS) • PsychInfo • Medline • Public Affairs Information Service (PAIS) The “hit count” from those searches is summarized in the table below. After the initial list was generated, we cross-checked the citations against the reference list of several major review works that had been published in the preceding five years (e.g., Rex Hudson’s “The Psychology and Sociology of Terrorism”i) and included potentially relevant references that were not already on the list. Finally, the list was submitted to the three senior academic consultants on the project: Dr.
