Here’s what the bio used to say: --- > “” --- And here’s what it said Monday: --- > “” --- The bio change may not be directly related to the Women’s March. Trump, who advocated for more help for child care during the campaign, can cross that off her checklist as a presidential adviser, since the Republican tax reform bill in December [expanded the child tax credit](http://fortune.com/2018/01/22/ivanka-trumps-memorable-first-year-in-the-white-house/). She’s also faced criticism in recent months when she’s attempted to advocate for women, as when she [faced a backlash](http://time.com/5094585/ivanka-trump-oprah-winfrey-golden-globes-backlash-twitter/) for tweeting support for Oprah Winfrey’s Golden Globes speech in light of [sexual misconduct allegations](http://time.com/5058646/donald-trump-accusers/) against her father.

And whom [00:04] are you representing? Your father is the President of [00:07] the Unites States, the American people or your [00:09] business? Well certainly not the later, and [00:14] I am rather unfamiliar with this role as well, as it is [00:17] quite new to me. It has been a little under 100 days, [00:21] but it has Just been a remarkable [00:26] and incredible journey. So as an entrepreneur and [00:30] as an individual prior to this, and in the private sector, [00:34] I cared very much about empowering women in the [00:37] workplace. I am humbled to be here with so many [00:40] formidable leaders to engage in dialogue, to learn, to [00:44] bring the advice, to bring the knowledge back to the [00:48] Unites States, back to both my father and the [00:51] President. I've certainly heard the criticism from the [00:53] media and that's been perpetuated, but [00:58] I know from personal experience and I think the [01:02] thousands of women who have worked with and for my [01:05] father for decades when he was in the private sector [01:09] are a testament to his belief and solid conviction in [01:14] the potential of women. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5116165/ivanka-trump-twitter/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5116165/ivanka-trump-twitter/"},"headline":"Ivanka Trump Changed Her Twitter Bio.
