The Wasted Potential of Wonder Woman 1984

Leah Libresco January 27, 2021

I was a fan of most of the first Wonder Woman film, but sadly disappointed by Wonder Woman 1984. At First Things, I wrote a little on how the film failed to live up to its promise. In her second film, the recent Wonder Woman 1984, Diana isn’t facing down an enemy power, but a distinctly… Read More

Books I Plan to Read in 2021

Leah Libresco January 4, 2021

Last year, I had a baby... and finished all the books on my 2020 list! (With the caveat that my husband and I took up Cardinal Sarah's The Day is Now Far Spent as our shared Sunday readaloud book, so I get a pass since we're reading it slowly together). All in all, I read… Read More

My Favorite Books of 2020

Leah Libresco December 31, 2020

These are my favorite books I read in 2020, listed in roughly chronological order. Nearly all of them were read as ebooks, many as library books, as I (initially) read with a sleeping newborn on my lap and (later) read standing up, ready to run to pluck our adventurous baby off the stairs. I rely… Read More

All Aboard the Generation Ship!

Leah Libresco December 11, 2020

Nearly a year into the pandemic, I wrote an essay for Breaking Ground on how we can persist in hope by drawing on sci-fi stories of generation ships. A generation ship spans the wide gap of time between planets. No one aboard at the beginning of the journey expects to see the destination. They commit… Read More

Discussing Illiberal Feminism with Plough

Leah Libresco December 10, 2020

I joined Susannah Black and Jennifer Frey for a discussion of Illiberal Feminism, hosted by Plough. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjSe-vj30tc The conversation was sparked, in part, by my article "Dependence," in Plough. Here's an excerpt from that piece: It always confuses me that illiberalism is taken as a belligerent ideology – both by its detractors and some of… Read More

Sing Out, America! An appreciation of Listening for America

Leah Libresco December 5, 2020

One of my favorite books I read this year was Rob Kapilow’s Listening for America, a tour through the genius of American musical theater. I was delighted to get to write an appreciation for Fare Forward. Reading Kapilow took me one step further into appreciation. He has a gift for worked examples and teaches by rewriting… Read More

Searching for Other Feminisms

Leah Libresco December 2, 2020

Gracy Olmstead and I had a conversation about the gaps in mainstream feminism for Mere Orthodoxy. I run a substack community, Other Feminisms, for sustained conversation on these topics. Gracy: My husband has struggled to get paternity leave, and experienced a lot of pushback when striving to carve out time to care for our children and… Read More

Defending Dependence

Leah Libresco November 26, 2020

My essay, "Dependence: Toward an Illiberalism of the Weak" is part of Plough's Family issue. Everyone is dependent (at least some of the time) but women have a much harder time than men pretending not to be. Hiding dependence hurts us all. On January 21, I'll be joining Ross Douthat, Sarah C. Williams and Peter… Read More

Discussing Evangelization with Bishop Barron

Leah Libresco October 28, 2020

In my day job, I was very happy to get to facilitate a conversation between Bishop Barron and the students of Princeton University. The event was hosted by the Aquinas Institute for Catholic Life at Princeton, and Bishop Barron fielded student questions about their challenges in evangelization for an hour. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFWYMEA22Ek Read More

Bridging the Divide Within Feminism

Leah Libresco October 24, 2020

At Newsweek, I'm discussing some of the tensions within modern feminism, and where we can find common ground across the abortion divide. Women are divided over how to respond to a world that treats us as defective men. Do we try to elbow our way in by adjusting our lives to a norm that may… Read More
