When Ivanka has engaged with women's issues, she's done so primarily through her marketing team; her work isn't feminism, but femvertising. Ivanka's much-touted #WomenWhoWork campaign—which launched from IvankaTrump.com in fall 2014, and is the basis her forthcoming book—is really more of an elaborate fashion ad than a policy proposal. Nor was it ever meant to be more than an ad; the campaign, Ivanka said, was aimed mainly to change the perception that "'work,' when associated with women, wasn't marketable."
Three out of four women [on Ivanka's website] coo Handmaid's Tale–ish platitudes about "being the best mother I can be." (One, a schoolteacher, is apparently childless; her segment still revolves largely around her ability to nurture children.) The overall effect is both soothing and dystopian, like watching a ladies' yogurt ad directed by Leni Riefenstahl.
