A few notes
If you notice that The Federalist makes a regular appearance on this list, it is not because I write there but because the magazine features the most women writers. It is known for it. In the early days (the magazine is almost 4 years old) both the number of pieces and the number of writers skewed mostly to women and the masthead remains majority women.
Regarding Susan Goldberg’s piece about Beyoncé above, my past allusions to debates among conservative women, it is an example.
The welcome from our new Facebook account, which applies just as well here:
Welcome to our new followers and thank you for spreading the word about this magazine.
My name is Leslie Loftis and I am the editor and primary curator of the link collections that will post on Sunday mornings for your leisurely weekend reading. Rachel Darnall has volunteered to help me edit and maintain the publication. We are starting slowly, links on Sunday by right women around the web, and original pieces on Tuesday and Thursday by right women on Medium. I have many expansion plans and a network to call upon as needed.
If you are not a conservative woman, then the magazine is for you. What do we think? What do we care about? What do we argue about? And how frequently do we argue about it? (Often. The answer is often. Usually well, but definitely often.) Please share with any curious non-conservatives.
If you are a conservative woman, please share with the curious as well, but also if you are on Medium or are interested in writing, feel free to get in touch with Rachel or me, either here or by private comment on one of our Medium pieces.
Again, thanks for following and welcome.
Leslie and Rachel
