An introduction to The Story of Woman: what’s the story?

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!
