NPR American Chronicles: Women's Equality by Susan Stamberg, National Public Radio
5.0
Because this is an audio book it's an entirely different experience than sitting down and reading the testimonies of the women in this series, but nevertheless this collection managed to rekindle my love of feminism because it provided insights from a wide variety of women. Whether it was Gloria Steinem, Naomi Wolf, Phyllis Schlafly, and Norma McCorvy a.k.a. Jane Roe of Row V. Wade, each woman explored what her identity as a woman meant and how it was shaped or challenged during the course of her life. These testimonies reveal the complexities inherent to being a woman during the 20th century, and what were the hopes and ideals of women moving forward.
Women's Equality is phrase that some might distrust because of it's connection to Feminism, which for reason has been labeled as a dirty word, but anyone who would avoid this book purely because of that title is missing something great, for Women's Equality explores the dynamic that exists between men and women, and offers up new ideas of what feminism can be and how it can benefit both men and women going forward into this next age.
