But while Ms. Trump has found both professional and personal success by enjoying many of the benefits of feminism, she is far from an avatar of a feminist future. And Ms. Trump has used the carefully cultivated image of her own career and family to sell both her brand and her father’s political ambitions. Ms. Trump embodies a feminine ideal, even while she lives a more feminist reality. Ms. Trump has written a book called “Women Who Work,” so must presumably think she has advice to offer other women. For white working-class women who often work out of necessity and who also believe in the importance of divergent responsibilities for men and women, that dissonance sows significant marital conflict.
