Carrie Prejean poses for conservative calendar

2009/09/25

Herndon, VA—Former Miss California, Carrie Prejean, is a Great American Conservative Woman.

This is according to the Clare Boothe Luce Policy Institute, a conservative women’s group based outside of Washington, DC. The Institute has just released its fifth annual Great American Conservative Women Calendar, which features top women leaders in the Conservative Movement.

Prejean ‘honored’ to be featured in the calendar

“I was so honored to be in the Calendar as one of the great American conservative women,” said Prejean. “As a former beauty queen, it's refreshing to be taken seriously.”

Prejean also spoke about her desire for young conservative women to become leaders on campus.

“It's so important for young women on college campuses to feel comfortable standing up for their conservative ideas. Conservative women need to be vocal in the public, and get involved in the media. I hope to have encouraged, and inspired other conservative women out there to not hold back, engage in intelligent discussions, stand up for what you believe in, and get involved. We cannot see a change if we don't start with ourselves.”

Coulter, Malkin, Bachmann also featured in the calendar

The calendar also features other notable conservative women like authors Ann Coulter and Michelle Malkin, and United States Representative from Minnesota Michele Bachmann.

“Each of the women featured in this calendar epitomizes both the brains and beautify of the modern conservative woman,” says Alyssa Cordova, lecture director for the Institute. “We want young women everywhere to know that it is possible to be both strong and feminine, and we hope highlighting these leaders in this way will encourage young women to take more active leadership roles on their campuses and in their communities.”
