At 27 years of age, she was elected president of NOW, the youngest person ever to have achieved that position. Reason.com: Tammy Bruce's Journey (August/September, 2003)

She was censured by NOW's national board for "statements that clearly violate NOW's commitment to stopping racism". She supported the Women's Action Coalition, a militant separatist group of the 1990s that banned all men from its actions and events.Reason.com: Tammy Bruce's Journey (August/September, 2003)
