Power & Givin' It Up

Listen on

Episode notes

Power...As feminists this is an issue that is at the core of feminist inquiry and its something that is ever present. We cannot talk about feminism and not talk about POWER. What it does to us? Who it turns us into? Why giving it up seems so damned hard? 

In this episode Muthoni and Michelle talk about how we understand power as feminists and why the goal isn't necessarily taking over power but dismantling power. They take on the uncomfortable and troubling relationship that feminism has with the domestic worker rights movement and explore the role that feminism can play in reimagining and deconstructing oppression
