She Thinks show

Summary: On this episode of “She Thinks,” IWF president Carrie Lukas joins to talk about our policy focus on paid—leave. While most employers offer paid leave to full-time employees, many lack sufficient paid time off. The main question we’ll explore is whether policymakers can help employees earn more and save for time off without growing government or discouraging employers from offering their own benefits.

She is the author of Checking Progressive Privilege and The Politically Incorrect Guide to Women, Sex, and Feminism.
