Conservative and Feminist Too?

Kay S. Hymowitz, writing for City Journal, here does a very interesting job of trying to understand how women can be both feminists and conservatives. She admits to being a liberal but tries to be balanced, and mostly succeeds.

Hymowitz ends up concluding it is certainly possible that a woman can care more about multi-trillion dollar deficits and national security than she does about day-care and glass ceilings, more about equal opportunity than equal outcomes. If you read her article, pay particular attention to her final paragraph, which alludes to the demographics of conservative women: most are married.
