  • Binge listen

    Binge listening & learning as I garden this summer. Amy & her guests address complicated issues & make me think about behaviors & patriarchal systems I grew up with yet never questioned until leaving a coercively controlling marriage! Empowering content for each of us to create more egalitarian spaces wherever we exist.

  • Amazing

    I just found this podcast and it is amazing. So thoughtful and profound, it’s exactly what I needed- to learn about women’s history and find power within myself. I am only on season 1 but am already almost finished with it. I look forward to listening to more.

  • My frontal lobe just developed.

    This has helped me understand my own brain and society at large so much. Thank you for an insightful approach to higher learning and identifying concepts that we are all living in, yet painfully unconsciously repeating. A great analysis that reveals to me just how much unpacking I have left to do.

  • Just found this!

    I’ve only just found this podcast and I am so glad there are so many episodes to catch up on. I started with the episodes on Gerda Lerner and I am loving it so much! I was a women’s studies major back in the day and I am so happy to hear these discussions now. They are so needed! Thank you.
