Highlights
& Quotes
Midge
Decter, wife of Norman Podhoretz (one of the key forefathers of
neoconservatism), has been a major player for decades in the peace-through-strength
ideological movement. She was a founding member of the hawkish Coalition
for a Democratic Majority, served on the Committee on the Present
Danger, directed the Nicaraguan Freedom Fund, and founded the Committee
for a Free World. She continues to advocate hard-line policies from
her perch at the neoconservative Institute on Religion and Public
Life, and she is affiliated with the Project for the New American
Century as well as the Heritage Foundation and Hoover Institution.
A
former editor of Basic Books, Decter has written for or edited numerous
journals, including Commentary, First Things, and Midstream. She
has written several books, including Losing the First Battle, Winning
the War, 2002; An Old Wife’s Tale: My Seven Decades in Love
and War, 2001: The New Chastity and Other Arguments Against Women’s
Liberation, 1997: Liberal Parents, Radical Children,1975; and The
Liberated Woman and Other Americans. Her book, Rumsfeld: A Personal
Portrait, was slated for publication in late 2003. (7)
