The Network of enlightened Women (NeW) is an organization for culturally conservative women at American universities. Started as a book club at the University of Virginia in 2004, NeW seeks to cultivate "a community of conservative women and expands intellectual diversity on college campuses through its focus on education." NeW members meet to discuss issues ranging from politics and gender to conservative principles. Since its founding, NeW has expanded to over 20 colleges campuses nationwide. It has grown into the nation’s premier organization for conservative college women. ==Founding== NeW was founded in September 2004 by Karin Agness as a book club at the University of Virginia (UVa). Agness found the feminist environment at UVa hostile to conservative women. "I loved being around other conservative women and wanted to find more women like that at UVa," said Agness, who hails from Indianapolis. "Unfortunately, all the women's groups on campus were really liberal and biased. And when I asked a (studies professor ) if anybody would be interested in sponsoring a conservative women's group, she just laughed at me." In response, she founded NeW as an alternative to the liberal groups for women on campus. Within a year of its founding at UVa, NeW began to spread nationally.
