First line

No one had ever before tried throwing a public party for young conservative women, so April Lassiter and her friends were caught between giddy excitement, stage fright and a touch of naughtiness as they stood at the top of the steps to the Eighteenth Street Lounge on February 29, 1996.

From the rear cover

Despite feminist predictions that women's liberation would forge a national sisterhood steeped in common values and goals, today's most outspoken voices come from women who ironically embody the ideal of independence even as they denounce the principles of "old" feminism. Drawing on more than one hundred interviews, Elinor Burkett takes readers into the lives, minds, and hearts of conservative women, from prominent politicians like Elizabeth Dole to gun-toting militiawomen. Neither an attack on feminism nor a defense of antifeminism, The Right Women is an evenhanded and lively exploration of a movement that is rewriting the rules, not only for women, but for American society as a whole.
