Some say we are now witnessing the beginnings of a fourth wave of feminism. While it is arguable whether or not describing feminism in terms of “waves” still makes sense today, there have been three to date. The reality and history of these waves, though, is often misunderstood, ignored, forgotten or turned into overly simplistic and misrepresentative stereotypes.
In this episode, I speak with Astrid Henry, one of the authors of a soon-to-be-released book called Feminism Unfinished: A Short, Surprising History of American Women s Movements, about what is often left out of our understanding of feminist history, ageism in the feminist movement, generational conflicts, and tensions between second and third wave feminism.
