	Naomi Wolf - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Naomi Wolf (born 1962) is a bestselling American writer.
		Wolf was born in San Francisco in 1962.
		Wolf was also involved in Bill Clinton's 1996 re-election bid where she brainstormed with the Clinton-Gore team about ways to reach "soccer moms" and other female voters.

	NAOMI WOLF's small war
		Wolf was not arguing that she was in the same position as children abused by priests.
		Wolf noted that she started this discourse with Yale not because she wanted to tell her story from a victim's perspective but because she wanted to know, before she gave the imprimatur of her success and name to the university, that other students were not left feeling as helpless as she was 20 years ago.
		Wolf was not equating herself to the victims of rape and child abuse -- she was pointing out the ways in which in all the cases institutional silence and denial both demean the victims and undermine the mission of the institutions themselves.

	NAOMI WOLF's small war
		Naomi Wolf is co-founder of The Woodhull Institute for Ethical Leadership, an organization devoted to training young women in ethical leadership for the 21st century.
		Had Wolf written an essay claiming that, while at Yale, a professor or student stole from her, hit her over the head with a chair, involved her in a pyramid scheme that was really a scam, or perpetrated any crime at all against her that didn't involve sex, the response would have been different.
		Wolf's case is slightly different: the professor in the Australian case had some degree of control over the students' academic careers, but Wolf was not in Bloom's class and, although he once agreed to meet her weekly to oversee some "independent study", she never got those meetings.

	Naomi Wolf sets back the fight against sexual harassment. - By Meghan O'Rourke - Slate Magazine
		Wolf says that Dean Brodhead told her that the number of meetings held by Yale's Grievance Board's weren't for public release.
		Wolf tells a very simple narrative — she was sexually harassed, and she didn't want to report it because she was afraid of the consequences for her career.
		Wolf is raising an issue that O'Rourke concedes should be raised, and Wolf is arguing articulately and coherently as to why it is that Yale is susceptible to this sort of conduct.

	Naomi Wolf - By Jodi Kantor - Slate Magazine
		Wolf ends the book with a call to reject "the insistence that a woman's appearance is her speech" and "political manipulation" based on looks.
		Wolf is now a full-time coach; earlier this year, she and five other "remarkable women" founded the Woodhull Institute for Ethical Leadership, devoted to training twentysomething women "to assume positions of power and influence." But the institute's programs don't cover political, economic, or legal issues.
		Wolf is a master cheerleader, and she acts like one: upbeat, entertaining, sweetly sexy, sharply aware of image, and endlessly trilling about victory.

	Commentary on Naomi Wolf on Abortion
		Wolf traces the origin of the pro-choice "lexicon of dehumanization" to the 1970's epoch of the larger battle for the equality of women.
		To be sure, Wolf's honesty is refreshing and welcome: someone at the forefront of the pro-choice movement is finally willing to publicly acknowledge what the legitimate elements of the pro-life movement have always taken as their starting point: the humanity of the unborn child.
		Wolf dramatically emerges with the concession that evil is at the essence of abortion.

		Wolf has never been criticized for lacking passion, and throughout the interview she was energetic in her professions of admiration for Gore.
		Wolf, who is expecting her second child on Valentine's Day, looked less like some whoopee girl sex writer than like your average expectant mom, flagging in some moments at the end of a long day.

	JBooks.com - Non-Fiction: The Mighty Irritating Naomi Wolf
		I was not surprised to learn that my daughter, Beth, had her share of problems with Naomi Wolf’s The Treehouse—after all, Beth inherited good literary taste—but I was a bit surprised, maybe even a bit disappointed, that she concentrated most of her negative firepower on Leonard Wolf, Naomi’s father.
		Wolf provides, I can’t remember any talk about the old-fashioned truth that “all art is selection.” I mention this because when Naomi tells us that her family once celebrated Hanukkah in Guaymas, Mexico, what stands out are the pink clams they dug up and roasted.
		Wolf who bought an astrolabe, an ancient instrument used to navigate the oceans, rather than a washing machine because, as Naomi points out, a little ring-around-the-collar never hurt anybody, but the truth is that reverse snobbery no longer packs the power it once did.

		Wolf, a one-time adviser to President Clinton, has been attacked before by the Republican right in 2000 when it was revealed she advised Al Gore to start behaving like an “alpha” male in his presidential campaign.

	Royce Carlton - Naomi Wolf Beauty Myth Ethical Leadership
		Wolf has given voice to women of all ages, exploding the social myths that keep women struggling in their fight for equality.
		Wolf’s Misconceptions: Truth, Lies and the Unexpected on the Journey to Motherhood, recounts her experiences (and those of other new mothers) with the shockingly business-like approach of the government, corporate America and even the medical industry to the needs of new mothers and families.
		Wolf’s lectures examine current cultural trends that affect women and men in different stages of their lives, from the mixed messages that are ingrained in young women about their beauty and sexuality and the psychologically and physically devastating “hooking up” culture on college campuses to the obstacles that face couples looking to start a family.

	ifeminists.com > editorial > Naomi Wolf: Power Feminist or Victim Feminist?
		Wolf shows impatience with groupthink among movement feminists, but I take it to be largely directed against conformist attitudes that stand in the way of grabbing up those "power units." Underlyingly, she agrees with the establishment figures that women constitute a collective, in need of representation as such.
		Wolf talks as though punishing Harold Bloom is not the point, then says, "His harmful impulse would not have entered his or my real life--then or now--if Yale made the consequences of such behavior both clear and real." I.e., he should have been punished, or faced the threat of punishment.
		Wolf, then, is at best naïve when she complains about lack of transparency as though it is unique to Yale University ("as secretive as a Masonic lodge," she laments).

	The Beauty Myth, Naomi Wolf
		Note: while Wolf admits that many of the statistics she put forth to support her thesis were overstated, the main premise of The Beauty Myth remains sound.
		Wolf shows that, throughout the years, there have been forces in culture that attempt to punish women who seek more control over their lives and their environment.
		In other words, it is legal for a woman to be hired or fired generally on the basis of her physical appearance.

	"Misconceptions" by Naomi Wolf.
		Not since The Beauty Myth has Naomi Wolf written such a powerful and passionate critique of American culture —this time, focusing on the hidden costs and vested interests surrounding pregnancy and birth in America.
		Wolf's own first experience with pregnancy and motherhood took her aback, profoundly challenging her most basic assumptions about feminism, the nuances of abortion, and the easy expectations of freedom and equality that women of her generation.
		Wolf describes her own difficult path to first-time motherhood, and in doing so, criticizes the failure of the medical establishment to provide pregnant women with a safe, effective and emotionally supportive environment in which to labor.

		Wolf -- 37 and married to former Clinton speechwriter David Shipley -- was an advisor to the Clinton-Gore 1996 campaign, where she was responsible for brainstorming about ways to reach soccer moms and other female voters.
		Thus, Wolf's presence on Gore's team of advisors shouldn't be all that surprising.
		While her influence on the vice president's campaign is nowhere near that of advisors like Carter Eskew or Bob Shrum, Wolf was one in a huddle of advisors prepping Gore for last week's town meeting in New Hampshire with Bradley -- an encounter in which Gore clearly took the offensive.
