A note from Leslie
I got the email set up. Iron Ladies will send out the collection each Sunday. I added a section for our original stories published during the week and a roundtable of the week. I will gather 3–6 articles by conservative women on a single topic. This week it is the Gorsuch hearings. Find previous collections here.
As a new publication, Iron Ladies had it’s first feature and intereview. Melissa Braunstein introduced Iron Ladies and explained the appeal of conservatism to Jewish women in Forward. Everyday Creators did a feature interview of Rachel Darnall.
Finally, one of my feminism stories was featured on the homepage for the second week. Medium has run a series of stories on women for the four weeks of March. The titles and stats provide an illustration of why Iron Ladies is important. Conservative women’s voices are relatively silent in social media.
Until next week. LL
