Leah Libresco Sargeant - 09/12/2025

Leah Libresco Sergeant - Leah shares insights from her new book, The Dignity of Dependence: A Feminist Manifesto. She challenges the misconception that equality requires women to be just like men, exposing the lie that sameness is the measure of worth. Instead, she emphasizes that every person possesses the same inherent dignity and invites us to embrace, rather than erase, the natural differences between men and women. Leah converted to Catholicism in 2012. She is the author of three books, most recently "The Dignity of Dependence: A Feminist Manifesto". Her freelance writing has appeared in The New York Times, First Things, The Dispatch, The New Atlantis, she has spoken at World Youth Day. She works in family policy in Washington D.C. and lives in Maryland with her husband and children.
