Right-Wing Women Are Mobilized: Katie Gaddini

June 18th, 2026

”They see themselves as modern-day Esthers.”

We discuss  the enthusiasm for civic engagement by right-wing women, which translates to power and victory at the ballot box.

Katie Gaddini is a sociologist, visiting scholar at Stanford University, and the author of  Esther's Army: The Christian Women Who Power the American Right.

Your civic action toolkit recommendations from Katie are:

  1. Research and know the issues on your ballot

  2. Vote in local elections
