| Summary |
"Reject our society's liberal bias against conservative women and learn how traditional principles will secure a better future for us all with this inspiring guide from a political powerhouse. The Mind of a Conservative Woman challenges women to improve their place in life and open doors for themselves and the next generation through the courage of their convictions. Senator Blackburn expounds upon why beliefs labeled as "traditional" have common ground and can improve all of society, such as: Protecting the next generation, the family, and the freedom of faith and values ; Supporting a free market that rewards women who apply their talents and rise to great heights ; Respecting the institutions in our nation to make change from the inside ; Securing an effective government that will not overreach ; and Honoring and respecting those who hold differing opinions. Though it is politically liberal women who receive the attention of left-leaning media and universities, it is conservatism that guarantees what most women hold dear. Blackburn addresses the frustrations of working women and the false perceptions of women presented by the media in general. Her maxim "Leave Things in Better Shape Than You Found Them" will challenge you to improve your place in life and create opportunities you never dreamed possible for yourself and those around you"-- Publisher's website. |

Senator Marsha Blackburn, the first woman to represent Tennessee in the US Senate, understands what conservative women want. They want the rule of law, a strong defense, low taxes and a vibrant free market. They want religious freedom, protection of life in the womb, a diverse educational marketplace, private healthcare, and pro-family policies. They have the chance today to advance their priorities and improve the lives of their fellow women. It is as though the times have conspired to thrust conservative women forward. They stand between the hard-won legacies they have received from their mothers and the heights to which they can launch their daughters. Conservative women have been given an opportunity to prove their values once again. Theirs is a philosophy that says to women: You are amazing beings. You have been made in the image of an awesome God who has fashioned you to achieve gloriously in this life. You are smart, you are capable, you are talented, you are wise, and you are able to do magnificent things. What you want, and what conservatism promises, is a welcoming arena for your gifts, and the fairness and protection you need to rise brilliantly. Government has its role in your life, but that role should be minimal, limited by the smart Constitutional checks and balances crafted by our founding fathers. Armed with this knowledge, go be the inspiring beings you are made to be. This is Senator Marsha Blackburn's message to women today! |
