What Is All Opinions Her Own?

All Opinions Her Own is a weekly newsletter of politics, culture, and faith written from the awkward intersection of being a high-church Catholic convert and a Left-leaning political animal. If you’re a thoughtful person who likes books and refuses to toe a party line, All Opinions Her Own is for you.

About Allison R. Shely

Too Catholic for the comrades. Too Left for the other Catholics.

Feeling like a strange bird with no neat and tidy tribal nest to fly home to, I created All Opinions Her Own as a roost of my own. I’m a linguist by training and a writer by calling.

Last name pronounced /SHEE-lee/. Don’t worry, you’re not the first.

What Do You Get by Subscribing?

Subscribing is free and gives you a weekly newsletter, delivered Friday, full of delights ranging from politics and culture to the lives of the saints, etymology, and the joy of being a cat person. Newsletters are also published on select holidays and other special occasions.

A paid option is in the works—Friday newsletters will remain free, but plans are for subscribers to have access to exclusive, extra editions.
