Despite misogyny, women continue to fight the reckless spending on nuclear weapons
The founder of a women’s peace group recalls being dismissed by male nuclear experts in the 1980s. May 24, 2019 To the Editor: Thank you, Carol Giacomo, for your support for female experts on nuclear weapons (“The Nuclear Weapons Sisterhood,” Editorial Observer, May 19). Let someone try starting a women’s antinuclear weapons group, as I did with Dr. Helen Caldicott in the 1980s. The insults we took from male experts were legion, but we persisted and are still strong today, fighting enormous sums pledged to our defense budget for recklessly dangerous “smaller, more usable” new nuclear weapons. As women we learn the facts and send our members out to challenge the so-called experts. Sayre Sheldon |
