How Women’s Souls Have Been Crushed in Rural America

In the sprawling landscapes of rural America, where the horizon stretches endlessly and the sense of community runs deep, a silent crisis unfolds.

Amid the beauty of the countryside, the stifling culture of MAGA conservatives casts a long shadow over the lives of women, whose voices and spirits are systematically subdued by an ideology that prizes dominance and control above all else.

This crisis is not merely about political affiliations; it’s about a deeply entrenched system that seeks to keep women in their “place,” undermining their autonomy, aspirations, and rights.
