Exploring the Illusion of the New American Dream

This week Hannah Neeleman, the founder and CEO of the brand Ballerina Farm appeared on the cover of Evie magazine, the MAGA-friendly lady magazine that claims to be an alternative to traditional media’s abject feminism. If we had any questions about the Neeleman family’s political leanings (I didn’t) then this answers them for us. On the cover Hannah is posed seductively in a prairie field whilst milking a cow in a pristine linen dress.

The magazine, which is cleverly designed to looks exactly like other recognizable women’s brands like Vogue and Elle, touts MAGA-friendly headlines like THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING SEXY: Why Society Needs Aspirational Beauty. 

Here to talk about all of it is NYT bestselling author of A Well-Trained Wife, Tia Levings.
