Three conservative women are challenging the prevailing feminist wisdom in a new book, taking on a movement that tells women what to think and how to act while cloaking itself in the banner of freedom of choice.

In "What Women Really Want," Dr. Gina Loudon, actress Morgan Brittany and Ann-Marie Murrell call on women to reclaim the culture for their children.
Appearing with her co-authors on "Fox & Friends," Murrell called out the feminist movement directly.

"It has nothing to do with empowering women anymore. Everything they're about now is from the head down. It has nothing to do with women's brains or their hearts," she said.
Brittany, a child actor and star on the hit television series "Dallas," said: "We're getting to a point now where conservative women are afraid to speak out on anything. There is no tolerance on [the left] unless you agree with them."

Morgan and Murrell come to the debate from the perspective of having grown up and lived their early adult lives as liberal Democrats.
"Growing up in Hollywood like I did, that's all I knew. I've been in the business since 1956, and that's all it is. It was liberal Hollywood, and I saw it get more and more and more liberal and push an agenda, and our culture started to deteriorate," Brittany said.
What animates all three women now is their frustration with a movement that in the name of empowering women actually attacks the very traits and characteristics that make women unique.
"Women don't want to be objectified, and what the feminist movement has successfully done is sexualize women instead of feminizing women," said Loudon.

Loudon also accused the feminist movement of "politicizing our bodies and what happens in our bedrooms.'
"That's all that the feminist movement has successfully done," she said. "We're here to battle back and say we know what women really want because we've talked to thousands of women across the country, and that’s what the 'What Women Really Want' is about."
The authors, all successful in their many careers, also take issue with a movement that has grown cozy with and dependent on an expansive federal government, seemingly oblivious to the fact that it decreases the freedom feminists have claimed to want.
"Women want less government in their lives, they want to make their own decisions, they want freedom to choose for their children, for their families, that's what women really want. They also want real men," Brittany said.

Loudon believes that the book offers a fresh start for women who want to pursue traditional motherhood while also being engaged and interested in the world outside of the home.
"We're here with a new brand of feminism, saying drop the shackles of the old feminism. It's time for women who really want to be women, who want to be feminine, who want to be what God designed them to be. It's time for that era."
