Mona Charen is one of the most prominent conservative writers in the country. She is the author of the New York Times bestseller Useful Idiots, she writes a critically acclaimed syndicated column that appears in more than 200 newspapers, and she is a contributor to National Review. Her life tracks nearly perfectly with the modern feminist movement. Charen explains, “I’ve been living in its shadow all of my life. Germaine Greer and Betty Friedan were the secular saints of my time. I’ve had both a successful career and a full family life and I don’t hesitate to put family first. You could say I’ve been working on my new book for the past thirty years.”
