And where female leadership has appeared it has in several instances aped the worst features of testerone-flooded male leadership. I am thinking of two: Marlene Dixon in her communist organization and Bernadine Dohrn in the Weatherman organization. And incidentally, Mark Rudd (interview in the Spring 2006 Radical History Review) has given a far more honest account of his Weatherman days than I have ever seen from Dohrn. And also, LRS did have female leadership at national, regional, and local levels -- which may partly explain why it was one of the last of the "New Communist" organizations to collapse. Carrol
