In this powerful lecture at Grove City College, Kimberly Begg — president of the Clare Boothe Luce Center for Conservative Women — explains why modern feminism has left a generation more anxious, lonely, and confused than ever before, and why the answer isn’t going backward, but rediscovering the truth about women, family, and faith.
Drawing on history, Christian tradition, and her work mentoring young women across the country, Begg argues that the culture has lied to young women about happiness, success, and freedom — and that authentic Christian womanhood offers a far more compelling vision. From the struggles facing Gen Z to the example of Joan of Arc, Proverbs 31, and the saints, this talk lays out how women can shape families, influence culture, and change the world.
This lecture was delivered at Grove City College as part of the Conservative Mind Lecture Series.
