Evian Leidig

Evian Leidig, a research fellow specializing in culture studies, and Elizabeth Zorofsky, a political writer, dissect the rising tradwife phenomenon and its ties to far-right politics. Leidig explains how tradwife messaging cleverly repackages feminist language while nurturing traditional gender roles. Zorofsky outlines Viktor Orban's illiberal political shift in Hungary and its influence on U.S. conservatives. Together, they explore the dangers of nostalgia in motherhood narratives and how these trends may threaten women's rights and democratic values.
