IN-PERSON EVENT: THE RIGHTS OF WOMEN: RECLAIMING A LOST VISION
Have the gains achieved by modern feminists in the political and economic spheres relied on a too-narrow idea of liberty and equality at the expense of a richer understanding of the natural duties that we owe to one another? If so, what are the costs of this, and can the proper foundation of equal rights be reclaimed?
Join us for an in-person event on Tuesday, July 20, at which EPPC Fellow Erika Bachiochi will offer remarks reflecting on the themes of her new book, The Rights of Women: Reclaiming a Lost Vision. The book offers an original look at the development of feminism in the United States and proposes a philosophical and legal framework for rights grounded in our responsibilities.
The event will be moderated by EPPC President Ryan T. Anderson and will include responses from Mary Eberstadt and Ashley McGuire. The event will not be live-streamed, but a video will be published after the event concludes.
This event is hosted by the Catholic Information Center and co-sponsored by EPPC and the de Nicola Center for Ethics and Culture. The book is being published in the de Nicola Center’s book series with University of Notre Dame Press.

Countermoves (Carl F.H. Henry Institute)
