I'm having a heck of a time finding out anything about Fluke before 1999.
Fluke has just made her liberal bones. She's golden once she leaves Georgetown as a result of this. Since her Cornell days, she's been involved in ultra-feminism.

And she's on every gender, feminist, and reproductive choice (that's a fancy phrase for abortion) journal and organization she can be on at Georgetown.
I can't find any record of what she did with her Women Lawyers of Los Angeles grant this summer, but I haven't researched deeply.
