Taylor Roth, President of NeW at the University of Florida, recommends the following 10 books for conservative women. 

Being a conservative woman can be difficult, especially when we are constantly subjected to the Left’s claims that we are brainwashed women who are unable to think for ourselves. As conservative women, we continue to feel isolated for our views and are told that we are not educated enough to contribute to pressing discussions ranging from foreign policy to healthcare.

What progressives fail to recognize is that we are strong, independent and, perhaps most importantly, well-educated women with the ability to see past the liberal agenda. Conservative women understand many of the Left’s policies which claim to help women, actually harm them in the long-run. We realize that it is up to us, not the government, to use our God-given potential to lead fulfilling and meaningful lives. Since leaders are readers, it is imperative for us to continue reading and educating ourselves.

Here are 10 books every conservative woman should read.

1.Assault and Flattery– Katie Pavlich

Written by Katie Pavlich, a Fox News contributor, Townhall Editor and New York Times Bestselling author, Assault and Flattery exposes the Left’s assault on American women. Pavlich debunks the liberal narrative that claims women must rely on big-government policies to succeed. Contrary to popular opinion, Pavlich states that the real war on women continues to be waged by the Democratic Party.

2.   Cruel and Usual Punishment: The Terrifying Global Implications of Islamic Law– Nonie Darwish

However, Darwish warns of the dangers Americans will face if Sharia is brought to the West.

3. The Silencing: How the Left is Killing Free Speech – Kirsten Powers
