Opportunity Feminism: Empowering Women to Build the Lives they Want

Modern feminism pushes women to be career-oriented girlbosses. The tradwives social media movement encourages women to be stay-at-home moms who don’t work outside the home. Yet a majority of women with small children prefer part-time work. What if there was a brand of feminism that advocated for the majority of women and for women to make their own decisions on how to structure their lives? In this course, you will learn how to make the case for Opportunity Feminism and policies that give women what they want—the flexibility to build the work-life set-up that works best for their priorities.  

Apply to participate in this exclusive three-month leadership course to learn about Opportunity Feminism, a brand of feminism that seeks to maximize freedom so women can build the fulfilling and meaningful lives they want. You will hear directly from top women leaders. You will have the opportunity to be mentored on how to become an effective advocate for conservative ideas through training on persuasion and communications techniques. By becoming more educated on conservative public policy proposals, you will finish the course able to confidently speak up for your views and provide an alternative vision for women. 

This course will be conducted via Zoom. Participants will be required to attend five of the six sessions. In addition to growing your network of top conservative women leaders and learning how to advocate for conservative policies, course participants benefit in the following ways:
