NOW elects Judy Goldsmith to lead women’s movement
INDIANAPOLIS AP The new president of the National Organization for Women Judy Goldsmith vows to push for change, attack sex discrimination in corporate America, and build a political machine to rival the New Right. She spoke after a Sunday election win over Sonia Johnson and others. Goldsmith, 43, will begin a three year term December 1, succeeding Eleanor Smeal. The movement shifts away from ERA defeat, saying the loss empowered feminists with experience and outrage. She cited the insurance industry retail trade and textile manufacturing as oppressive to women.
