We are hoping these episodes will motivate you to organize and fight back as feminists for all marginalized bodies, which is to say, the bodies targeted by fascism. By connecting the dots and seeing how this fascism operates by making us the enemy, but also by trying to get us to fight one another, we hope to change the future. One feminist episode at a time. Special thanks to the team, Laurie Essig, Alison Segar, Harper Nichols, El Fahey, Daisy Kulina, Ruthie Brown, and many more!","last_synced_at":"2026-07-31T04:20:51.113745+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/feminism-fascism-and-the-future-6713092"},"episode":{"title":"We Read a Book!
