Feisty and Feminine: A Rallying Cry for Conservative Women

by Penny Young Nance

Overview

CEO and president of Concerned Women for America Penny Young Nance is ready to change the way women today engage the culture.

"Today's conservative women are intelligent, well-educated, compassionate, accomplished, funny, and fearless," says Nance.

Feisty & Feminine takes an honest and transparent look at what it means to be a conservative Christian woman, with thoughtful commentary on the real issues confronting you right now.

Conservative Christian women have never fit neatly into stereotypes. "We're not the humorless, dim-witted 'church ladies' Saturday Night Live has made us out to be," says Nance. "In fact, we have an opportunity like never before to offer words of redemption to a world gone mad."

Are you troubled by this nation's decreased emphasis on the sanctity of marriage and the abuse of women around the world? Are you concerned that the values of this great nation are slipping away from your children?

The time is right for this book, and for conservative women—like Esther of the Bible—to stand up, be heard, and make a difference in our culture.

I’ve known Penny Nance for twenty years, and I absolutely love her passion for Christ, her passion to advance freedom and opportunity for all Americans, and her passion to educate and empower a new generation of conservative women to help get America back on the right track. She’s a rare voice in Washington---courageous and classy. May her tribe increase!

Joel C. Rosenberg

Penny Nance is one of today’s boldest and most outspoken conservative women of faith. In this book, Penny exposes who is really waging the “war on women,” and it’s not who you've been led to think it is. More feisty and informed women are exactly what our country needs.

Feisty and Feminine is an inspiring look at how a woman can be a conservative Christian while still being a powerful advocate for the rights of women and all other people. It is easy to read and very informative.

Benjamin S. Carson Sr.

Penny’s book is conversational and fun, yet deep and insightful. She is a masterful (and very feisty and feminine!) ally in our work to build a culture of life. Feisty and Feminine communicates a timely and necessary message for women today who are seeking real truth and fulfillment.

Jeanne Mancini

Penny Nance is a fearless culture warrior who takes opponents apart and shreds their shallow left-wing nonsense for the drivel it is. And she does it with a smile that belies her toughness. Penny proves that a conservative woman can be intellectually and spiritually prepared for anyone or anything---anytime. You’ll love her book, Feisty and Feminine, and will realize why liberals don’t want to be on the stage with her. They don’t like losing!
