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 and place greater value on flexibility. What if there was a brand of feminism which advocated for that 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. The government shouldn’t put its weight on the scale for one vision of what women should be.
Apply to participate in this exclusive three-month leadership course to learn about Opportunity Feminism, a new brand of feminism which seeks to maximize freedom so women can build the fulfilling and meaningful lives they want. You will hear directly from 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 get great extra benefits including:
Participants will have the opportunity to write an op-ed for publication or blog post (optional).
