Description
Independent Women's Forum (IWF) is a non-partisan, 501(c)(3) research and educational institution. By aggressively seeking earned media, providing easy-to-read, timely publications and commentary, and reaching out to the public, we seek to cultivate support for these important principles and encourage women to join us in working to return the country to limited, Constitutional government. Independent Women’s Forum believes women and families are empowered by the choices and opportunities the free market provides. Women don’t want or need big government.
