Info: Our guest is Michelle Easton, Founder and President of the Clare Boothe Luce Policy Institute. Easton founded the institute in 1993 to advance conservative women in leadership roles. The institute offers internships and programs for young women. The program was named for Clare Boothe Luce, who was a member of Congress from Connecticut from 1943 to 1947 and US Ambassador to Italy from 1953 5o 1956. She was also a journalist, author and playwright. Her plays include the 1936 Broadway hit "The Women," which was subsequently made into a movie. Michelle Easton worked in both the Reagan and Bush (41) Administrations. For a portion of that time she served as Deputy Undersecretary of Education. In 1994 she was appointed to the Virginia State Board of Education. She has also worked for Young Americans for Freedom and for National Right to Work.
