Summary

In this episode, host Angélica Cordero takes us on a personal visit to the birthplace of the U.S. women's rights movement in Seneca Falls, where over 300 men and women gathered in 1848. They boldly outlined their grievances in the Declaration of Sentiments, calling out gender inequalities enshrined in law and society. The constitution's inspiration from the Haudenosaunee Confederacy and their matrilineal society is explored. The episode also challenges the popular narrative that credits Susan B. Anthony as the major figure in women's suffrage, highlighting lesser-known truths about the movement's origins. This episode was written by and produced by Angélica Cordero, with a little help from ChatGPT. Our theme song is Don’t Kid Yourself Baby by Fold , used with their blessings. Voices heard in this episode include Amanda Flores and Hiram Skaggs.
