Concerned Women for America (CWA) is a socially conservative,[1] evangelical Christian non-profit women's legislative action committee in the United States. Headquartered in Washington D.C.,[2] the CWA is involved in social and political movements, through which it aims to incorporate Christian ideology.[3] The group was founded in San Diego, California in 1978[4] by Beverly LaHaye, whose husband Timothy LaHaye was an evangelical Christian minister and author of The Battle for the Mind, as well as coauthor of the Left Behind series.[5][6]
The CWA identifies itself as an amalgam of "policy experts and... activists[s]" with an anti-feminist approach to politics.[7]
