• Founding Mothers: Lilian Gilbreth and Edith Clark

  In today’s episode in the Founding Mother’s series, we explore two influential women from the past: Lilian Gilbreth, an American psychologist, industrial, consultant and educator who was once described as “a genius in the art of living," and Edith Clark, an electrical engineer who is credited with laying the foundation for the smart grid. Both women were born in the late 1800s, but both of them made impacts in their fields that affect our lives to this day.Join Lauren Torres and Kimberly Rockwell as they discuss the legacies (sometimes controversial!) of these two fascinating women.

• "Karen" -- Deconstruction of a Slur

  "Karen"-- a term that became ubiquitous in 2020.  It was used as a verbal cudgel to upbraid a certain type of woman: white and very outspoken.Some say the term had its origin as a response to racism; others say it was the product of misogyny. Either way, the word "Karen" became a weapon of derision, mockery and humiliation.  It was a way, quite simply, to silence a group of women. Join us as we do a deep-dive into the history and facts surrounding this term and in our quest to uncover the truth of its purpose. Also, please, feel free to share with us your thoughts and experiences with the word at [email protected]

• In Memoriam - Sally Roesch Wagner - Sisters In Spirit: Suffragists and Native American Women

  Our final episode of the season is an encore presentation, in memoriam, of the first episode of the season-- Sally Roesch Wagner and the Suffragists-Native American connection.  Sally Roesch Wagner passed on June 11 at the age of 82.  She was an historian of women's history and the Women's Suffrage Movement, an author and an educator. She was the founding director of the Matilda Joslyn Gage Foundation and Social Justice Dialogue Center which honored the accomplishments of pioneering suffragist, Matilda Joslyn Gage.*****In this episode: The Iroquois, alternatively referred to by the endonym Haudenosaunee, are a confederacy of Native Americans and First Nations peoples in northeast North America.  Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Matilda Joslyn Gage, and Lucretia Mott had formed friendships with Haudenosaunee women that enabled them to see the real possibility of creating a very different structure for their American culture, a matriarchal one, like the one that their Haudenosaunee sisters had experienced for generations. We talk to Sally Roesch Wagner about this amazing story and how she discovered this overlooked pieced of American feminist herstory.Sean Marlon Newcombe and Dawn "Sam" Alden co-host.
