Helen Roy is a mother and writer, focusing on family policy, women's issues, and culture. She graduated magna cum laude with a degree in Chinese Language from Wofford College as a Phi Beta Kappa. Helen earned a Masters in Statecraft and National Security at The Institute of World Politics in Washington, DC, where she focused on communism and postcommunism while working under the Directorate of Analysis at the Defense Intelligence Agency.
Helen is a fellow at the Claremont Institute for Political Philosophy, a featured author for Fairer Disputations, and lifestyle editor at Blaze Media. Currently, she hosts the podcast The Female of the Species and runs her Substack Roy House in Budapest.
