Podcast: Feminish
Episode: S1E2 What is feminism, anyway?
Description: Today on the podcast we’re talking about the history of feminist movements in the United States - they are probably a lot more complex and nonlinear than you think. We discuss whether it’s fair for Olivia to ask men outright if they are feminists. We talk about what “feminism” encompasses today (spoiler: it’s a lot more than just “women’s equality”).
Jessie’s read today is Feminism Unfinished: A Short, Surprising History of American Women’s Movements by Astrid Henry, Dorothy Sue Cobble, and Linda Gordon. She also references Hood Feminism by Micki Kendall.
