Patricia Lee Buckley Bozell (April 23, 1927 – July 12, 2008) was an American author. She helped to establish and served as managing editor of Triumph, a Catholic opinion journal that was published for nearly a decade. A native of New York City and a graduate of Vassar College, she was a freelance editor at Regnery Publishing, National Review, The American Spectator, and Communio: International Catholic Review.
A daughter of William Frank Buckley Sr., and Aloise Steiner Buckley, Patricia Buckley was the wife of L. Brent Bozell Jr. (son of Bozell Worldwide co-founder Leo Brent Bozell), the mother of Media Research Center founder L. Brent Bozell III, and a sister of conservative author William F. Buckley Jr. as well as United States Senator James L. Buckley.[1] She and her husband were also the godparents to novelist Tristan Egolf.[2]
Bozell is known for attempting to slap Ti-Grace Atkinson at the auditorium of the Catholic University of America after a speech by Atkinson on the virginity of the Virgin Mary, which Bozell described as "an illiterate harangue against the mystical body of Christ".[3]
