Description

Moms for Liberty didn't appear out of thin air. They're building on a long history of white, conservative women who, for decades, have used their motherhood as a tool for political credibility. And it all started in 1960s California, where thousands of middle-class moms transformed into suburban warriors and helped build the modern-day conservative movement.This season's cover art features a photograph by Jonathan Wilkins.White Picket Fence is supported by Planned Parenthood.
