Story: Discovering Catholic Feminism with Samantha Povlock
From Our Free Video Program: Cultivating Catholic Feminism
“[To me] Catholic feminism held on to what it meant to be a woman and the sacredness of our biology, of our charisms. Catholic feminism held on to woman herself rather than just accommodating woman to a male-dominated world where man is the standard and women are fitting the mold however they can.”
Samantha Povlock is the Founder and CEO of FemCatholic, a media company working to respond to the call for a “new feminism” from Saint Pope John Paul II by educating, encouraging and empowering women. She graduated from Notre Dame with degrees in business and theology, and works in banking project management by day. Samantha lives in the Philadelphia suburbs with her husband and three small kids.
