From a story by Robin Abcarian, in the Los Angeles Times.

“On the one hand, her political views (she’s anti-abortion and pro-gun and an evangelical creationist) seem directly counter to the until-now traditionally liberal tenets of feminism. Yet at the same time, she’s a powerful governor and mother of five, a combination that seems the very definition of what the women’s movement was fighting for. […] Palin is a classic third-wave feminist, benefiting from all that came before her in terms of the women’s movement, while remaining the embodiment of patriotic, religious, small-town values. […] Certainly, she’s the change agent they might need: a right-wing politico in the body of an attractive modern “executive”, wife and mother.”
