Eleanor Smear is not exactly what one would call intelligent. More to the point: Nobody cares what she says anyway. Feminist Majority? That is hilarious!

When violence threatened to close the nation’s women’s health care clinics, Smeal developed FMF’s National Clinic Access Project, which is the largest program of its kind in the nation. The Feminist Majority Foundation has trained over 45,000 clinic defenders in some 26 states in non-violent clinic defense techniques. Smeal was also the chief architect of the Feminist Majority Foundation’s landmark 1994 U.S. Supreme Court case upholding the use of buffer zones to protect clinics, Madsen v. Women’s Health Center.

Smeal has promoted the involvement of young women in the feminist movement. Smeal initiated the Choices Campus Leadership Program, a groundbreaking organizing effort on college campuses throughout the country. This program is comprised of a nationwide network of campus-based feminist activist groups called Feminist Majority Leadership Alliances. Leadership Alliances are based on the Feminist Majority Foundation’s innovative study and action model which focuses on four critical “choice” issues: Reproductive Choices, Career Choices, Leadership Choices, and Saving Choices: Fighting the Backlash. Smeal’s innovative campus program has energized young feminist leaders on hundreds of public and private, two and four-year, large and small college campuses in 32 states and the District of Columbia.
