Abzug firing shows Carter struggle with women’s issues
UPI reports Carter’s purge of Bella Abzug from the National Advisory Committee on Women followed by firing of Midge Costanza as aides clash with a cautious White House. Insiders say the president never intended a strong women’s panel, while his wife Rosalynn and secretary Jody Powell pushed for inclusion. The move reflects a broader tilt toward incremental gains, with two women in the White House seen as implementers rather than policymakers. New Mexico educator Marjorie Chambers, Abzug’s declared heir, favors slow progress, aligning with Carter’s method.
