  • Mind opening

    I’ve loved every episode I’ve listened to. A very fair and compassionate premise with deep dives into history, patriarchy, and its relevance today. Much has been written on these topics since I was in college in the late 70’s so I have some catching up to do!

  • A must listen for all women and men.

    I have learned so much from this podcast about not only the establishment of patriarchal systems and the subjugation of women (and men), but also the left out/forgotten historical roles of women “heroes” in the world. Thank you for the re-education.
