GoogleFrom Ayn Rand to Isabel Paterson, some of the most important
figures in the modern movement for liberty have been women. So why
aren't there more female libertarians today?
Reason.tv's Tim Cavanaugh sat down with Allison Gibbs, founder and
executive director of the the Ladies of Liberty
Alliance, at the Libertopia festival in Hollywood,
California. Gibbs says that, although the pretentious and
argumentative nature of the libertarian movement has been a turn
off to women, she is optimistic about the future. She points out
that LOLA is growing rapidly and notes that libertarianism is
especially popular among young women.
