Amanda MarcotteI interviewed former Republican women at an event in Philly.
What was striking was how deciding to leave the party often came at a high price. They alienated family, friends, and even often had to leave their church.
Why read past headlines: Probably the most common question I get is "Why do women vote Republican?"
Some are just very racist. But in many cases, they are under a level of social pressure to conform that can be hard to imagine.
That's what I got from these stories.

From the article:
"These women hope to persuade other Republicans that, as hard as it can be to rebel against your family and community, it's a price worth paying to be able to look at yourself in the mirror the morning of Nov. 6."
