Dead Pundits Society

Joining us for International Women's Day is Kirsten Swinth, professor of history at Fordham University and author of Feminism's Forgotten Fight. We discuss the radical, materialist-oriented dimensions of the Second Wave feminist movement and overturn many of the mythologies that circulate about this period. -Was the 2nd wave women's movement really about "having it all" (i.e. career, family, kids, etc)? -Was the 2nd wave only comprised of "uppity, white women?" The answers may surprise you... -Learn more about Kirsten's book here: https://www.jacobinmag.com/2018/12/second-wave-feminism-care-work-wages -Feminism's Forgotten Fight (Harvard Univ Press, 2018): http://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674986411 *** Dead Pundits Society is funded entirely by our supporters.
