Wondering what The Story of Woman is all about? This episode has the answers!
In this introduction episode, I talk about:
Part 1: the story | 2:20 - 19:35
- what is “the story of woman” and why it’s important
- what the story of humankind looks like when half of it is missing
- the social construct of gender, aka the performance of a lifetime
- woman’s “special” category, eg scientists... and women scientists
- personal and societal benefits of adding woman’s story into the main narrative
- what’s in it for men
- intersecting layers of oppression... there is no single story of woman
Part 2: the podcast | 19:35 - end
- the purpose of this podcast
- recurring sections in each episode
- men are losers too (in gender inequality of course)
- feminism gets a bad rap... because the narrative has been a bit one-sided...
- your story
- season one authors
And more!
