Tammy Bruce is an American radio talk-show host, bestselling author, journalist, conservative political commentator, and feminist activist. She was born on August 19, 1962 in Los Angeles, California, United States.

Bruce was elected president of the Los Angeles branch of the feminist non-profit group 'National Organization for Women' (NOW) in 1990, and she held the position until 1996. She was also a member of the ‘NOW' board of directors. However, in one of her books, she later became a vocal critic of the organization. 
Bruce worked with them for almost seven years, but her relationship with them worsened due to moral disagreements over the O. J. Simpson situation. Following that, Bruce became a full-fledged activist. 

She has written for 'Newsmax.com' and 'The Guardian' as a journalist. 'The New York Times,' 'San Francisco Chronicle,' 'Los Angeles Times,' 'Esquire,' 'USA Today,' and 'The Advocate,' among other national and foreign publications, have published her social commentary and editorials.' Bruce also gives lectures to a number of social audiences at universities, corporations, and public associations. She is also a commentator to 'Fox News' and the host of 'Get Tammy Bruce,' a show for 'Fox Country.' 

Career

Over the 1990s, she was active in a number of "Democratic" movements. In 1992, she endorsed Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein for the Senate, as well as Bill Clinton for President. She protested against the sexually explicit content of Bret Easton Ellis' 1991 novel 'American Psycho,' which was published by 'Vintage Books' (a subsidiary of 'Knopf'). She also lifted her hand in support of a boycott of all of the company's books.  

The 'Tammy Bruce Show' debuted in Los Angeles in 1993 with its first episode. In 2005, the show was made available to the general public via syndication. She anchored a chat show on ‘KFI' from 1997 to 1998. 

'The New Thought Police,' Tammy Bruce's first book, released in October 2001, explored freedom of speech, individual freedoms, and how left-wing McCarthyism is a danger to democracy. Her second novel, 'The Death of Right and Wrong,' was a "New York Times Best Seller," published in April 2003. She was a member of Arnold Schwarzenegger's "Transition Team" in 2003, when he was newly elected governor. The next year, Bruce advocated for only heterosexual couples to be allowed to marry. 'The New American Revolution,' her next novel, was released in November 2005. 

Bruce made her feature film debut in 2009 with '2081,' an independent dystopian science-fiction film based on Kurt Vonnegut's short storey 'Harrison Bergeron.' Bruce appeared in the film as the 'Diana Moon Glampers.' 

In a short video shared on the conservative 'YouTube' channel 'Prager University' in 2014, Bruce addressed her critiques and feminist thoughts. 

On 'Fox News' in December 2018, Bruce chastised a Scottish coffee shop for referring to "gingerbread guys" as "gingerbread people." She felt the ruling curtailed her right to free speech. 

Bruce hosted 'Get Tammy Bruce' in 2019 as a 'Fox News' contributor. The show is available for viewing on the 'Fox Nation' service.
