2008Clare Boothe LuceCalendar Policy Institute Now andAuthor Not Jennifer Yet Marshall signs her book, the Conservative Women’s Network in June 2007. , for Luce staffer Camille Hart at Conservative young women from high schools across the nation join together followingNational Luce’s High 2007 School Mentoring Conference. Luncheon at the waiting in a supermarket checkout line, and instead of seeing all those tacky liberal women’s magazinesImagine like Cosmopolitan and Glamour, you see Smart, the magazine for the sharp, intellectual—and fashion- conscious—conservative woman. Instead of, say, Paris Hilton gracing the cover in all her vacant glory, you see Star Parker or Michelle Malkin modeling the latest professional styles. And rather than being bombarded with teasers like “50 ways to make him want you,” your eyes are drawn to “10 policy positions that will make him crazy.” That would be worth your four dollars. The Clare Boothe Luce Policy Institute doesn’t publish a magazine—yet. But weare proud to present to you our 4th annual Great American Conservative Women Calendar. It features smart, beautiful women we send to college campuses every year to impact the lives of young women. And as a special treat,for 2008 we hired our own photographer to capture a unique portrait of each woman in a setting that reflects their individuality. The result is a one-of-a-kind calendar filled withexclusive photos of your favorite conservative all-stars. Now that’s smart!
