The myths about women that contribute to legal, medical, economic, social, political disadvantage do not operate independently. We silo them because it’s the only way we can explain and examine the detail of how they harm women and non-binary people. The only names we have for the big picture are patriarchy, white supremacy, capitalism, etc. Is change possible? How much change have we already achieved in the last 200 years? How to we protect what we’ve already done from backlash while we keep the momentum?

The final guest for the series is Emily Maguire, who will help connect all the threads from the series.
