“We are proud to be the publisher of Erika Bachiochi’s original and thought-provoking book,” says Steve Wrinn, Director of Notre Dame Press. “And we are honored,” Wrinn continues, “to be the only university press among a group of distinguished trade publishers in this year’s list of finalists.” This is the second year that a Notre Dame Press book has made the final cut for the Conservative Book of the Year award. Last year’s list of six finalists included Bradley C. S. Watson’s Progressivism: The Strange History of a Radical Idea (University of Notre Dame Press, 2020).
Erika Bachiochi is a fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center and a senior fellow at the Abigail Adams Institute, where she founded and directs the Wollstonecraft Project. She is the editor of Women, Sex, and the Church: A Case for Catholic Teaching and The Cost of “Choice”: Women Evaluate the Impact of Abortion.
The Rights of Women has been widely reviewed and excerpted in Newsweek, Crux, Law and Liberty, First Things, National Review, National Catholic Register, and Fox News, among other publications. It is part of the Catholic Ideas for a Secular World series, edited by O. Carter Snead, director of the de Nicola Center for Ethics and Culture at the University of Notre Dame.
