Maggie Gallagher: Sarah Palin's Girl Power

*
In her latest column for Townhall.com, Maggie Gallagher says Sarah Palin's speech at the Susan B. Anthony List breakfast "blew her away":
It was an extraordinary speech.

Sarah Palin is something genuinely new on the American scene, and what's more, she clearly knows it.

Palin understands that she is building not just a new political movement, but a new cultural identity. She dubbed it "frontier feminism," and it was the theme she carried through from beginning to end.

[...]

Women can do anything. We can bear children under less than ideal circumstances. Like Sarah and her "strong and independent" daughter Bristol. 2010, Sarah Palin announced exuberantly, is the year "when commonsense conservative women get things done for our country."

I don't know if it's true or not. But I'll tell you one thing: Sarah Palin had me at the word "Trig."
