Young women are moving sharply to the Left. Today, they are twice as likely to identify as liberal over conservative, and that identification is increasingly associated with more radical views, including support for socialism and political violence. The reason young women are being radicalized is that they spend their formative years in spaces where radical ideas are normalized—and some of the most radical ideas they encounter are about women themselves.

Kimberly Begg, president of the Clare Boothe Luce Center for Conservative Women, argues that conservatism has something far better to offer.

Drawing on biological, philosophical, and scriptural truth, Begg presents a conservative vision of womanhood that affirms women's dignity, celebrates their unique gifts, and equips them to thrive in every area of life. Through 23 timely questions—from “What does science tell us about the biological nature of women?” and “Did the sexual revolution liberate women?” to “Is marriage good for women?” and “Do women have to choose between career and family?”—she offers clear, compelling answers to some of the most important questions about women today.

If we hope to win the hearts and minds of today's young women, we must offer better answers to the questions they are asking in good faith about who they are and how they can thrive. The Truth About Women seeks to restore confidence in the conservative understanding of women—and, in turn, inspire a new generation to embrace conservative principles.

On campuses and in the broader culture, young women are steeped in a worldview that denies the reality of biological sex and devalues marriage, motherhood, and family, encouraging them to reject fundamental truths about who they are and the relationships that give life meaning and fulfillment. At the same time, they are exposed to voices that diminish women's intelligence and gifts and reduce femininity to a narrow set of roles and characteristics. Social media amplifies these voices, often presenting them as representative of conservatism. Amidst confusion and cultural pressure, many young women simply conform to the prevailing worldview.
