Podcast appearances and mentions of Alice Paul

The road to equality has never run smooth - in part 2, Alice Paul and the suffragists finally achieve their goal of a constitutional amendment giving women the vote - but not until a great deal of lobbying, schisms, sacrifice, and sheer willingness to go against the grain at every occasion. Never one to rest for long, Alice then had a greater aspiration - an Equal Rights Amendment that would enshrine equality for women in the constitution , which she co-wrote in 1923. One hundred years later, the ERA has yet to pass. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Years before Alice Paul was even born, the women's suffrage movement began with Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, Lucretia Mott, and others at the first women's rights convention in the US in 1848. The efforts of these early suffragists laid the groundwork for Alice Paul and her peers, and their stories will give you a better understanding of the long struggle to recognize a women's right to vote.

Alice Paul was one of the most prominent activists of the 20th century women's rights movement, who believed that moral authority always trumps the letter of the law; injustices must be called out and resisted as a matter of principle. By hook or by crook; with personal sacrifice. determination, and a talent for spectacle, she moved the needle of public opinion though acts of resistance. Learn more about your ad choices.

This Day in Legal History: 19th Amendment Passed in SenateOn June 4, 1919, the U.S. Congress passed the 19th Amendment, marking a turning point in American constitutional and civil rights history. The amendment stated simply that the right to vote "shall not be denied or abridged... on account of sex," legally enfranchising millions of women. The road to this moment was long and contentious, spanning more than seven decades of organized activism. Early suffragists like Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony laid the groundwork in the 19th century, while a new generation, including Alice Paul and the National Woman's Party, employed more confrontational tactics in the 1910s.Although the House of Representatives had passed the amendment earlier in the year, the Senate had repeatedly failed to approve it. The June 4 vote in the Senate—passing by just over the required two-thirds majority—was the final congressional hurdle. The legislative victory came amid shifting national sentiment, in part due to women's contributions during World War I and growing pressure from suffrage organizations.The amendment was then sent to the states, needing ratification by three-fourths to become law. That process concluded over a year later with Tennessee's pivotal ratification on August 18, 1920. The 19th Amendment was certified on August 26, finally making women's suffrage the law of the land. This day marks not just a legal transformation but the culmination of one of the most significant civil rights struggles in U.S. history.Disbarred attorney Tom Girardi was sentenced to 87 months in federal prison for stealing $15 million in settlement funds from his clients. U.S. District Judge Josephine Staton also imposed a $35,000 fine and ordered Girardi to pay over $2.3 million in restitution. The sentence followed his August 2024 conviction on four counts of wire fraud. Girardi, who turned 86 on the day of his sentencing, had sought leniency due to age, liver issues, and dementia claims, but the court found him competent and sided with prosecutors who sought a significant term.Girardi's legacy was once tied to his successful pollution suit against Pacific Gas and Electric—dramatized in the film Erin Brockovich. However, his downfall involved stealing settlement funds in various personal injury cases, including millions owed to families of victims of the 2018 Boeing 737 MAX crash. A federal judge in Chicago recently dismissed related charges, citing the active California case, though the prosecution of Girardi's son-in-law, David Lira, is still set to proceed there. Lira denies wrongdoing.At trial, Girardi blamed the fraud on Christopher Kamon, his firm's former CFO, who has already been sentenced to over ten years after pleading guilty. Girardi's attorneys continue to claim cognitive decline, but the court maintained that he was mentally fit to face justice.Lawyer Tom Girardi sentenced to 87 months in prison for wire fraud | ReutersA federal appeals court is set to hear its first case reviewing the constitutionality of Donald Trump's executive order limiting birthright citizenship. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals will hear arguments in Seattle as the Trump administration appeals a nationwide injunction issued by U.S. District Judge John Coughenour, who called the order “blatantly unconstitutional.” The directive, signed by Trump on January 20, his first day back in office, seeks to deny citizenship to U.S.-born children whose parents are neither U.S. citizens nor lawful permanent residents.Critics—including 22 Democratic attorneys general and immigrant advocacy groups—argue the order violates the 14th Amendment, which has long been interpreted to grant citizenship to nearly anyone born on U.S. soil. Federal judges in Massachusetts and Maryland have also issued rulings blocking the order. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court, which heard related arguments on May 15, is considering whether to limit lower courts' power to issue nationwide injunctions rather than deciding on the constitutionality of the policy itself.If implemented, the order could deny citizenship to over 150,000 newborns annually, according to the plaintiffs. The lawsuit before the 9th Circuit was filed by several states and individual pregnant women. The three-judge panel includes two Clinton-era appointees and one Trump appointee, potentially shaping the outcome. The administration maintains that birthright citizenship doesn't apply to children of undocumented or temporary-status immigrants, a stance at odds with long-standing interpretations of the 14th Amendment.To be clear, this case revolves around the Citizenship Clause of the 14th Amendment. This clause states, “All persons born or naturalized in the United States... are citizens of the United States,” forming the basis of birthright citizenship. The case centers on how this clause should be interpreted, making it the key constitutional question in this challenge. On the side of birthright citizenship is, frankly, the plain language of the amendment. On the side of the executive order are racists and racist people without basic reading comprehension – full stop. There is no “other side” here, and there is no real debate. Ultimately the courts may decide to pretend there is some nuance, but that changes nothing about the clear language of the amendment. Trump's birthright citizenship order to face first US appeals court reviewA group of former U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) employees has filed a class action lawsuit against HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Elon Musk, alleging that their departments used flawed data to justify the firing of 10,000 federal workers. The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, claims that HHS and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which Musk leads, violated the 1974 Privacy Act by using inaccurate personnel records during a mass reduction in force (RIF).The plaintiffs argue that the agencies relied on data riddled with errors, including incorrect performance reviews, job descriptions, and office locations. One named plaintiff, Catherine Jackson, reportedly received an RIF notice based on false performance ratings. Another, Melissa Adams, was allegedly terminated by officials who didn't even know her work location.The lawsuit seeks at least $1,000 in damages per affected employee and a court declaration that the government's actions were unlawful. The complaint also suggests that the terminations were ideologically driven, referencing a troubling incident where an FDA employee was warned by a man invoking DOGE shortly before receiving her RIF notice.The mass firings, which began April 1, impacted key HHS agencies like the CDC, FDA, and NIH. Kennedy defended the cuts as part of a broader reorganization to address chronic disease. The plaintiffs, however, see the action as a politically motivated purge that disregarded legal safeguards.By way of brief background, the Privacy Act of 1974 mandates that federal agencies maintain accurate records when making decisions that adversely affect individuals. It is central to the lawsuit because the plaintiffs claim their terminations were based on data that was factually wrong, violating this statutory requirement.RFK Jr., Musk Accused of Using Faulty Data in Firing HHS WorkersA new conflict over federal spending power is emerging between the Trump White House and the Government Accountability Office (GAO), centered on a $5 billion electric vehicle infrastructure program. The GAO recently concluded that the Trump administration's pause of the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) grants—originally authorized under President Biden's 2021 infrastructure law—violated the Impoundment Control Act of 1974, which prohibits presidents from withholding funds for policy reasons. In response, the White House issued a sharply worded memo instructing the Department of Transportation to disregard the GAO's opinion entirely.The memo, written by OMB general counsel Mark Paoletta, accuses the GAO of partisan bias and undermining President Trump's “historic and lawful spending reforms.” It signals a broader strategy to challenge the authority of congressional watchdogs and reframe presidential control over budget implementation. This dispute could serve as the first legal test of Trump's intent to challenge the constitutionality of the Impoundment Act itself.The delay in EV funding is part of a broader rollback of Biden-era policy priorities, including guidance on equity and charger placement. Meanwhile, the administration has proposed over $9 billion in spending rescissions, aimed at areas like public broadcasting and foreign aid, under Trump's Department of Government Efficiency initiative. Advisors have floated a tactic called “pocket rescission,” a timing strategy that critics argue violates legal requirements for obligating federal funds.This isn't the first time a president has clashed with GAO over spending powers—Trump and Biden both previously faced scrutiny for pauses in Ukraine aid and border wall funds, respectively. However, the White House's open defiance of GAO marks a significant escalation in an ongoing constitutional debate over who ultimately controls the federal purse.More specifically, the Impoundment Control Act of 1974 restricts the executive branch from withholding or delaying funds Congress has appropriated unless explicitly authorized. It plays a central role in this dispute, as the GAO argues Trump's delay of NEVI grants constitutes an illegal impoundment, while the administration disputes the law's constitutionality and GAO's oversight role.White House Memo on EV Grants Sets Up Fight Over Spending Power - Bloomberg This is a public episode.

Today, we revisit a conversation about the Equal Rights Amendment, and its current status.On Today's Show:Julie Suk, a law professor at Fordham University and the author of We the Women: The Unstoppable Mothers of the Equal Rights Amendment (Skyhorse Publishing, 2020), reviews the history of the Equal Rights Amendment, from its introduction by Alice Paul in 1923 through its current disputed status, following passage by a 38th state and President Biden's declaration that it's the "law of the land."

This Day in Legal History:  House of Representatives Passes 19th AmendmentOn this day in legal history, May 21, 1919, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, granting women the right to vote. The amendment stated simply: "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex." After decades of organizing, lobbying, and protest by suffragists—including Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Alice Paul—this marked a major legislative victory in the long fight for women's suffrage.The amendment was first introduced in Congress in 1878 but languished for over 40 years before gaining sufficient political traction. The context of World War I played a pivotal role; as women took on new roles in the workforce and public life during the war, their contributions made it politically difficult to deny them voting rights. President Woodrow Wilson, initially lukewarm on the issue, eventually lent his support, which helped sway key votes.Following the House vote on May 21, 1919, the amendment proceeded to the Senate, where it was passed on June 4, 1919. Ratification by the states took just over a year, with Tennessee becoming the decisive 36th state to ratify on August 18, 1920. The 19th Amendment was officially certified on August 26, 1920.This moment was a turning point in constitutional law regarding civil rights and voting equality, setting the stage for later expansions through the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act, and ongoing debates over voter access and gender equality.Twelve U.S. states, led by Democratic attorneys general from New York, Illinois, and Oregon, are challenging President Donald Trump's recently imposed "Liberation Day" tariffs in federal court. The states argue that Trump misused the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to justify tariffs on imports from countries with which the U.S. runs trade deficits. They claim the law doesn't authorize tariffs and that a trade deficit does not qualify as a national emergency.The case will be heard by a three-judge panel at the Court of International Trade in Manhattan, which also recently heard a similar lawsuit from small businesses. Oregon's Attorney General Dan Rayfield said the tariffs were harming consumers and small businesses, estimating an extra $3,800 per year in costs for the average family. The Justice Department contends that the states' claims are speculative and that only Congress can challenge a president's national emergency declaration under IEEPA.Trump's tariff program began in February with country-specific measures and escalated to a 10% blanket tariff in April, before being partially rolled back. His administration defends the tariffs as necessary for countering unfair trade practices and reviving U.S. manufacturing. Multiple lawsuits—including ones from California, advocacy groups, businesses, and Native American tribes—are challenging the tariff regime.US states mount court challenge to Trump's tariffs | ReutersThe U.S. Justice Department is investigating former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, now a leading Democratic candidate for New York City mayor, over Republican allegations that he misled Congress about his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic while in office. The inquiry reportedly stems from a referral by a GOP-led House subcommittee, which cited Cuomo's closed-door testimony before the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic.Cuomo's campaign says it was not notified of the probe and denounced the investigation as politically motivated "lawfare" driven by Trump allies. Critics argue the Justice Department is being used to target political opponents, while Trump and his supporters maintain that prior cases against him were politically biased. Cuomo, who resigned in 2021 following a state attorney general report accusing him of sexual misconduct—which he denies—is the presumed frontrunner in the June 24 Democratic mayoral primary.He is set to face incumbent Eric Adams, now running as an independent after facing and being cleared of federal charges. The Justice Department has not publicly confirmed or commented on the Cuomo probe, and his spokesperson insists the former governor testified truthfully and transparently.US Justice Department investigating former New York governor Cuomo, sources say | ReutersA federal judge in Kentucky dismissed a lawsuit by the U.S. Treasury Department that aimed to cancel a labor contract with IRS workers in Covington. Judge Danny Reeves ruled that the Treasury lacked legal standing to bring the suit and granted summary judgment in favor of the National Treasury Employees Union (NTEU) Chapter 73. This marks a legal defeat for the Trump administration's broader attempt to weaken federal employee union rights through an executive order.The administration had filed similar lawsuits in Kentucky and Texas following Trump's directive that claimed two-thirds of federal employees could be excluded from labor protections under national security grounds. In response, the NTEU filed its own legal challenge in Washington, D.C., where Judge Paul Friedman temporarily blocked the order's implementation. However, a federal appeals court later paused that injunction while the Trump administration appeals.This decision in Kentucky slows momentum for the administration's effort to restrict collective bargaining for federal workers, though related cases continue to play out in other jurisdictions. The NTEU was represented by both in-house and private attorneys, while the Justice Department defended the administration's position.Judge Tosses Treasury's Suit to Cancel Federal Worker Contract This is a public episode.

As America entered World War I, the suffrage movement split into a two-pronged attack. Alice Paul and her National Woman's Party took their protests to the White House gates. Meanwhile, Carrie Chapman Catt and her group, the National American Woman Suffrage Association, lobbied to prove the loyalty and patriotism of American women, hoping they would be rewarded with the ballot.Together, these two groups would finally succeed in pushing a new amendment through Congress, granting women the right to vote. But before it could become law, it would have to be ratified by the states – leading to a dramatic showdown in the final state the suffragists needed, Tennessee.Be the first to know about Wondery's newest podcasts, curated recommendations, and more!

In March 1913, thousands of suffrage activists converged on Washington, D.C. for a new form of protest. They were going to march down Pennsylvania Avenue to demand an amendment to the U.S. Constitution, guaranteeing women the right to vote. Their leader, Alice Paul, was a young rising star in the movement. Her dramatic protests outside the White House would grab headlines across America. But they would also spark fierce and sometimes violent resistance.Be the first to know about Wondery's newest podcasts, curated recommendations, and more!

Give to help Chris continue the Truce Podcast. Phyllis Schalfly was a remarkable woman. Regardless of your politics, you have to admire the impact that one person, who was never elected to office, could have on national political conversations. Schlafly was already part of the in-crowd in Washington when she took a stance against the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). She was an exercise in nuance herself-- a woman who fought for traditional views of women in society, while also earning a law degree and touring the nation on speaking tours. She had a family and held a prominent position in the national zeitgeist, even building on battles fought by Anita Bryant. But who was Phyllis Schlafly? She was a Catholic woman, which is important because Catholics had long been the victims of prejudice in the United States. She was a mother, a popular speaker, publisher of The Phyllis Schlafly Report newsletter, and author of books like A Choice, Not An Echo, which was a conspiratorial screed about stealing elections. This lady knew how to turn a story. She ran for Congress in 1955 and again in 1970, losing both times. Then in 1972, she learned about the ERA. The Equal Rights Amendment was first proposed by Alice Paul in 1923. The goal was to have men and women treated equally under the law. That means that women would no longer receive special protections either. So... a double-edged sword, right? Women in the 1960s and 70s still had a ways to go when it came to equality. It brought forth some big questions about how to achieve it. Schlafly wanted to protect the protections. So she formed STOP ERA (Stop Taking Our Protections, ERA) to rally her followers against the ERA. This was a big twist because state after state had rushed to ratify the amendment. But once Phyllis got going, they applied the brakes and waited. Schlafly may have single-handedly stopped an Amendment to the Constitution. In this episode, we're going to learn about this dynamo. A woman who is both loved and hated. An intelligent woman, and someone who traded in falsities. Our guests for this episode are Marjorie Spruill, author of Divided We Stand and Angie Maxwell, author of The Long Southern Strategy.

Part IV of “The Birth of the Women's Movement” traces the final drive for a national women's suffrage constitutional amendment – the Susan B. Anthony Amendment -- culminating in the adoption of the 19th Amendment on August 26, 1920. We'll meet Carrie Chapman Catt, Alice Paul, the Silent Sentinels, and the ‘New Women of the Old West' where women's right to vote was first adopted in Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, Washington, California, and Oregon before any eastern state.

Clinton was identified as one of the producers of “Suffs,” a musical written by Shaina Taub that tells the story of Alice Paul (played by Taub) and other suffragists. Hillary Clinton quips about losing 2016 election at Tony Awards — but joke falls flat. Guest Co-Host: Diane Pearce See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's a blast from the past as we come to you with another episode recorded prior to Tony nominations, where we discuss Suffs and Alice Paul's determination to "Finish the Fight" and get the 19th Amendment passed. You won't have to "Wait [Your] Turn" to see Suffs when you can hear us talk about it all right here! (spoilers ahead) -- The show that Christine talks about at the beginning is Lighthouse: An Immersive Drinking Musical (whose EP is definitely worth checking out!) If you (like us) saw Suffs on Broadway in early previews, you might be pleased to see that the horse Inez rides for the march now has a head! If you haven't seen Greta Gerwig's Little Women, be sure to do so! But this is the Amy March speech that Cindy references in relation to Doris in Suffs. Can't imagine Jenn Colella with shoulder-length blonde hair? Neither could we, but that's indeed what she was rocking when she was in Chaplin. -- Music featured in this episode: The Young Are at the Gates Wait My Turn The March/GAB/This Girl/Keep Marching How Long Keep Marching (solo) — Follow us on Twitter and Instagram @BottomlessBway, our blog at https://bottomlessbway.home.blog, or email us at bottomlessbway@gmail.com!

One of the shows Mickey-Jo recently saw during his recent two week trip to New York was SUFFS, the brand new Musical currently playing at the Music Box Theatre on Broadway. This is Mickey-Jo's ★★★★★ review of the musical. Suffs, the six-time Tony Award-nominated musical from Shaina Taub about the lives and legacies of unsung changemakers in the women's suffrage movement of 1920, is marching onto Broadway with producers Hillary Rodham Clinton and Malala Yousafzai. Just about century ago, the Nineteenth Amendment secured the voting rights of some women, largely thanks to key figures of the women's suffrage movement: Inez Milholland, Ida B. Wells, and Alice Paul, to name a few. However, this movement was not without its faults. With an honest, 21st-century lens, the Suffs musical examines both the crucial building blocks and the cracks in the foundation of the women's suffrage movement through the women that pioneered it. With a book and score by fast-rising composer Shaina Taub (also known for collaborating with Elton John on The Devil Wears Prada musical), Suffs off Broadway brings forth an exciting new voice in musical theatre. Taub now makes her Broadway debut after winning the 2014 recipient of the esteemed Jonathan Larson Award and earning acclaim with her work composing and starring in the Public's Twelfth Night and As You Like It musical adaptations. Tony Award nominee and two-time Obie Award winner Leigh Silverman (Violet) directs Suffs on Broadway. Alongside Taub in the cast is Tony Award winner Nikki M. James as Ida B. Wells, Tony Award nominee Jenn Colella as Carrie Chapman Catt, Grace McLean as President Woodrow Wilson, Hannah Cruz as Inez Milholland, Kim Blanck as Ruza Wenclawska, Anastacia McCleskey as Mary Church Terrell, Ally Bonino as Lucy Burns, Tsilala Brock as Dudley Malone, Nadia Dandashi as Doris Stevens, and Tony Award nominee Emily Skinner as Alva Belmont/Phoebe Burn. Rounding out the company are Hawley Gould as the Alternate for Alice Paul, Jaygee Macapugay as Mollie Hay, and Laila Drew as Phyllis Terrell/Robin. The ensemble will feature Dana Costello as well as Jenna Bainbridge, Monica Tulia Ramirez, and Ada Westfall making their Broadway debuts. The cast will also include Christine Heesun Hwang, Kirsten Scott , Housso Semon , and D'Kaylah Unique Whitley. • 00:00 | introduction 02:14 | overview / synopsis 07:02 | the material 15:38 | performances • About Mickey-Jo: As one of the leading voices in theatre criticism on a social platform, Mickey-Jo is pioneering a new medium for a dwindling field.

We are diving deep into the history of women's suffrage, the ERA, and a couple of badass ladies who were at the forefront of the fight for equal rights. It started with women wanting the right to vote. Even John Adam's wife had something to say about it: "“I desire you would Remember the Ladies, and be more generous and favorable to them than your ancestors. Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of the Husbands. Remember all Men would be tyrants if they could. If particular care and attention is not paid to the Ladies we are determined to foment a Rebellion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any Laws in which we have no voice or Representation.” But did they "remember the ladies"? Um...NO. Then we wanted equality in the eyes of the law. And that fight is ongoing. We might actually have flying cars before we have equality!

[REBROADCAST FROM May 9, 2022] Composer and performer Shaina Taub is the creator of the musical, "SUFFS,"  which was a hit off-Broadway show in 2022. Taub starred as Alice Paul, one of the leaders of the suffragist movement and the campaign for the 19th Amendment. The musical is now opening on Broadway, with previews beginning at Music Box Theatre on March 26. We revisit our conversation with Taub from when the show first premiered off-Broadway.

"Deciduous Man..." Thanks, Shane Bullard for a little inspiration on this one. A few years ago, Shane was playing some good tunes here on social media...just strumming his 6-string and singing some great old country songs. I haven't heard much from him in a while. I sure hope he starts playing again. For now, he sits and thinks about the fight. The good fight. Emerging slowly from a darkness That got hold of him last night. Oh, whether you're a man of means or measure, Or just a wolf in black sheep's clothing.How pathetic to be stuck there In self-pity and self-loathing. And what we're falling for.But he rallies. Gazing out upon the Flag, he sings a line or two from Hag— "Today I started loving you again. And I'm right back where I've really always been…" His mind goes walking, across the Edmund Pettus bridge, Walking on the moon. Walking into death in Normandy that June. Through dust and fires, Across rivers running red with blood. Down deep, the music plays, Bad news on the doorstep, Bud. His faith returns against all reason. In spite of, in the face of, because of, and for the grace of, everything that's happened. Despite the wrecking force of greedAnd the weight of sorriness gone to seed,He still believes in goodness, though.Honor, strength, and courage—And other stuff, you know.In those who swim against the stream,Who refuse to think alike,Alice Paul and Lucy Burns waging hunger strikes. Woody Guthrie fighting fascists with two chords on his guitar.Samuel Clemens sitting, Cooly smoking a cigar While birthing Huckleberry Finn.Jefferson writes the Declaration while he plays the violin,John Coltrane and Einstein were probably there to hear it—Living out the mystery of the cosmos, The science and the Holy Spirit.And there's more.Let him tell you about Austin and the Bakersfield sound, And half a million on a farm, outside a little New York town, Giving peace a chance.Tell me, what's the matter with a bit of song and dance? In the mud, Dave.Jump in the mud.But then here comes the blues, trying to pull us underWith all the dark and somber news of pillaging and plunder.History talk— Of railroads and boomtownsAnd gold and silver riches foundFrom Comstock in NevadaAnd the Black Hills of Dakota—No more buffalo, James, no Lakota.And never mind the sixty bucks he paid to fill up on the way,He rails against the offshore rigsAnd spills in Prudhoe Bay.Now, we fight the Keystone lineAcross the Plains, today.The question comes, though not the first, Not about the vain attempts to curb our thirst, Just “Hey, what's the use of knowing all the worst?”“I don't know,” he just may say,And he probably doesn't know.He's not the lion anymore, But that won't stop the preaching, just listen to him roarWhen he speaks of schemes of thugs and parliaments of whores.He can't forget old Howard ZinnWho talked about the mortal sin,Of going along to get along, Giving up and giving in.The world has suffered most,Not from chasing Don Quixote's ghost, Not from deviance and defiance, But from unresisting, unthinking, obedience and compliance.Gazing out again upon the Flag, he hears those favorite lines from Hag,And he's right back where he's really always been…In spite of, in the face of,Because of, and for the grace ofEverything that's happened. Everything we've done.At the end of the day, he's headed home to his sweet dogs.The river on the left is calm and clear, there is no fog,He can see all the way across.Greeted at the kitchen door,By the Shepherd and the Labrador—Joyful and hungry. He feeds them well and then himself.And leaves the Irish on the shelf.He makes a cup of teaAnd sips it slow.Accompanied by birdsong, To Kristofferson's devil, singing low,A line from a song a brother taught him fifty years ago.“I don't believe that no one wants to know.”Gone, for now, is whatever got hold of him last night.His faith returns against all reason.A greater fool for any season.

You probably know the names Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, but what exactly did they do? You might not know the names Lydia Maria Child, Margaret Fuller, Elizabeth Miller Smith, Amelia Bloomer, Sarah and Angelina Grimke, Elizabeth Blackwell, Sojourner Truth, Lucy Stone, Carrie Chapman Catt, Frances Willard, Mary Church Terrell, Anna Howard Shaw, Ida B. Wells, and Alice Paul – but you should. In this first of a multi-part series “The Birth of the Women's Movement”, The American Tapestry Project examines the life and times of those 19th century women who fought for women's rights by appealing to America's foundational values. In doing so, they changed the world and shaped the future.

This Day in Legal History: Birth of Alice Paul January 11 marks an important date in legal history, as it is the birthdate of Alice Paul, a pivotal figure in the women's suffrage movement in the United States. Born on this day in 1885, in Mount Laurel, New Jersey, Paul grew up in a well-to-do Quaker family known for its commitment to equality and social justice. Her upbringing played a significant role in shaping her advocacy for women's rights.Alice Paul attended Swarthmore College and later went on to earn a doctorate in social work from the University of Pennsylvania. Her academic journey took her to England, where she joined the women's suffrage movement, learning militant tactics from Emmeline Pankhurst's Women's Social and Political Union. Paul returned to the United States in 1910, bringing with her a new vigor and approach to the suffrage movement.In the U.S., she found the existing suffrage movement lacking in dynamism and urgency. To revitalize it, she joined the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA) and quickly became the head of their Congressional Committee. Her first major campaign was the organization of a suffrage parade in Washington, D.C., on March 3, 1913, strategically timed to coincide with President Woodrow Wilson's inauguration.Paul's tactics were notably more aggressive than those of her predecessors. She organized pickets, parades, and strikes, which often led to her and other suffragists being arrested. Her efforts, however, significantly boosted public awareness and support for the suffrage cause.In 1916, Paul formed the National Woman's Party (NWP), a more radical group focused solely on securing a constitutional amendment for women's suffrage. The NWP's relentless campaigning, including picketing the White House, was instrumental in leading to the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920, granting women the right to vote.Following the suffrage victory, Alice Paul continued her advocacy, authoring the Equal Rights Amendment in 1923, a piece of legislation designed to guarantee equal legal rights for all American citizens regardless of sex. Though it has yet to be ratified, the ERA remains a testament to her lifelong commitment to gender equality.Alice Paul's legacy is profound, and her strategies and philosophies continue to influence civil rights movements. She passed away on July 9, 1977, and was laid to rest in the Westfield Friends Burial Ground in Cinnaminson, New Jersey, continuing to inspire generations of activists in the fight for equality. Happy 138th birthday, Ms. Paul.The recent legal victory of the IRS in a significant tax fraud case involving syndicated easements could mark a turning point in the government's approach to these controversial tax transactions. In the case, real estate developer Jack Fisher, aged 71, was sentenced to 25 years in prison and ordered to pay $458 million in restitution by the US District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. His co-defendant, James Sinnott, received a 23-year sentence and a similar restitution order.The case centered around a fraudulent scheme using syndicated easements, where partnerships buy land and donate development rights to claim large tax deductions. Fisher and Sinnott's operation, which started in 2008 and expanded in 2013, involved inflated appraisals and forged documents. This type of transaction has seen nearly $36 billion in unwarranted deductions claimed from 2010 to 2018, leading to bipartisan legislation in 2022 to curb such practices.The substantial prison sentences and restitution in this case represent a rare and significant win for the government against a practice that has long eluded effective regulation. The outcome could influence future prosecutions and IRS cases in Tax Court, making it easier for the IRS to win against similar deals. The case highlights the need for the IRS to effectively review returns and manage valuation-based Tax Court cases, which have been both challenging and time-consuming.IRS Criminal Investigation Chief Jim Lee emphasized the agency's commitment to tackling abusive tax shelters using their financial expertise. The magnitude of the sentences and restitution should serve as a deterrent to those still promoting syndicated transactions. Legal experts and observers note that the case exposes the blatant valuation abuses in these transactions and underscores the urgency for individuals involved in similar activities to seek legal advice.The case against EcoVest, a company promoting syndicated easements, was settled in March 2023 without admission of wrongdoing, although the government had alleged $3 billion in improper deductions. The outcome of Fisher and Sinnott's case is seen as a warning to others in the industry, signaling the government's increased scrutiny and potential legal repercussions in such tax evasion schemes.IRS Victory in Land Tax Case Could Speed Government CrackdownThe civil fraud trial involving former U.S. President Donald Trump in New York is nearing its conclusion, with closing arguments scheduled for Thursday. Trump is facing nearly $370 million in penalties as New York Attorney General Letitia James alleges that he and his associates significantly inflated the value of his assets for over a decade to obtain better financial terms from banks. Trump denies these allegations, claiming the trial is politically motivated and a hindrance to his 2024 presidential campaign.Justice Arthur Engoron, who is presiding over the trial, rejected Trump's request to deliver his own closing arguments, aiming to avoid a "campaign speech" scenario. This trial is one of several legal challenges Trump faces amid his campaign to contest the 2024 election against President Joe Biden. Engoron will deliver the verdict later, without a jury, after previously finding Trump liable for fraud in September. The focus of the trial has been on determining the amount Trump should pay in ill-gotten gains.Trump has expressed frustration with Engoron's handling of the trial, including a gag order and a $15,000 fine for violating it. The state's lawyers have presented evidence that Trump consistently overvalued his assets. Trump, in his testimony, defended his valuations and accused James and Engoron of political bias. A notable moment in the trial was the testimony of Michael Cohen, Trump's former lawyer, who claimed Trump directed him to manipulate asset values on financial statements.Trump's children, Donald Jr., Eric, and Ivanka, also testified, denying involvement in preparing the financial statements. While Ivanka is not a defendant like her brothers, all three have denied any wrongdoing.In addition to this trial, Trump faces potential criminal trials related to his attempts to overturn the 2020 election, handling of classified documents, and a hush money case in New York. He has pleaded not guilty in all these cases.Trump's $370 million civil fraud trial set to conclude in NY | ReutersU.S. House Republicans are moving towards holding Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, in contempt of Congress. This action follows Hunter's refusal to testify in a closed-door deposition concerning an impeachment probe of his father. Hunter unexpectedly appeared at a House Oversight Committee meeting, causing a stir and leading to heated exchanges between lawmakers.Republican Representative Nancy Mace criticized Hunter for not attending the deposition, accusing him of being afraid. The House Republicans claim that President Biden and his family improperly benefited from policy actions during his vice-presidency from 2009 to 2017, allegations both the White House and Hunter Biden deny.Hunter Biden is facing separate legal issues, including a federal court appearance in Los Angeles regarding unpaid taxes of $1.4 million and charges in Delaware related to lying about drug use while purchasing a handgun. He has pleaded not guilty to the Delaware charges.Democratic Representative Jared Moskowitz questioned why the committee refused Hunter's offer to testify then and there. Hunter Biden's attorney, Abbe Lowell, stated that they had previously offered to cooperate with the House committees but were ignored. Lowell criticized the subpoena for a private deposition as a tactic misused by Republicans.The full House usually votes on contempt of Congress certification following a committee vote. Since 2008, the House has held 10 people in contempt, but the Justice Department has only sought indictments for two: Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro, advisors to former President Donald Trump. There is no precedent for a sitting president's family member being held in contempt of Congress. Contempt of Congress carries a penalty of up to $100,000 and imprisonment for one to 12 months.House Republicans move toward holding Hunter Biden in contempt of Congress | ReutersThomas Girardi, a disbarred plaintiffs attorney, is set to stand trial for fraud beginning May 21 in Los Angeles, significantly earlier than the February 2025 date his lawyers requested. The trial's scope will be narrowed to focus on four specific cases brought by Girardi's clients, as decided by the prosecutors to avoid delays. The Assistant US Attorney, Ali Moghaddas, emphasized that the trial would not go beyond the indictment's scope.Judge Josephine Staton of the Central District of California remarked that the case doesn't seem overly complex and has been pending for quite some time. Girardi's public defenders had sought a later trial date to prepare adequately, especially after focusing on assessing Girardi's ability to stand trial due to his cognitive impairment.In early January, Judge Staton determined that Girardi had mild-to-moderate cognitive impairment but had exaggerated his decline to avoid trial. The prosecution expressed concerns that any further delay might again raise questions about Girardi's competency.The discovery process has been extensive, with the government subpoenaing over a dozen banks, the state bar, and bankruptcy trustees for complaints against Girardi and others. However, much of the received documentation was deemed irrelevant to the current case. The prosecution has been asked to highlight key documents for the defense.Girardi faces wire fraud charges in Los Angeles related to allegedly stealing millions from clients in litigation over the 2018 Lion Air Boeing 737 MAX crash. He also faces charges in Illinois. The case will reconvene on February 23 to discuss discovery matters.Girardi Trial Set for May, Scope Is ‘Significantly' Narrowed (1) Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

On this day in legal history, November 6, 1917, New York state adopted a state constitutional amendment granting the vote to women. On November 6, 1917, a pivotal moment in legal history unfolded as the state of New York adopted Amendment 1, a legislatively referred constitutional amendment, which granted women equal voting rights. This landmark decision was the culmination of nearly seven decades of tireless advocacy since the first women's rights convention in Seneca Falls, New York, in 1848​. The suffrage movement in New York was spearheaded by notable figures such as Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Sojourner Truth, among others, who were instrumental in pushing for this change.The approval of women's suffrage in New York was significant not only for the state but also for the national movement, setting a precedent three years prior to the ratification of the 19th Amendment, which would grant women the right to vote across the United States​. The efforts of suffragists like Alice Paul, who demonstrated and were arrested for protesting outside the White House, were crucial in influencing President Wilson to support what would eventually become the 19th Amendment​.This adoption represented a significant leap forward for women's rights and was a testament to the dedicated activism of the suffrage movement. New York's decision to enfranchise women was a critical step towards the broader national recognition of women's suffrage, reinforcing the state's role as a leader in the fight for gender equality.Stroock & Stroock & Lavan, a venerable New York law firm with a storied 150-year history, has commenced layoffs of 140 employees as it initiates its dissolution. Founded in 1876, Stroock became a legal institution, renowned for its work in corporate and financial law, with offices across the United States. Despite its longevity and the respect garnered in legal circles, reflected in its attorneys' recognition in industry publications, the firm faced an insurmountable crisis leading to a mass exodus of partners to Hogan Lovells and an eventual vote by the remaining partners to dissolve the firm in late October 2023​. The firm's closure marks the end of an era for a law firm that once played a pivotal role in New York's legal landscape, having advised multinational corporations and cultivated long-standing relationships with Wall Street's financial companies since its early days​.Stroock to Lay Off 140 Employees in New York as Firm CollapsesPrivate equity firms are seeking legal advice regarding the Department of Justice's (DOJ) new policy on M&A disclosures, which offers a safe harbor for self-reporting misconduct. This new initiative provides a clearer path for buyers to avoid prosecution and is causing a stir among companies that are habitual acquirers. The policy resonates due to clearer self-reporting timelines and is under scrutiny for potentially increasing M&A activity, which some criticize for fostering market concentration. The DOJ now gives companies six months post-acquisition to self-report for declinations and a year to rectify misconduct. This has prompted companies to be more diligent in due diligence, with law firms coordinating corporate and white-collar expertise to advise on identifying potential offenses during this process. While some lawyers don't see this as a significant change, it does offer more concrete guidance for in-house compliance and could encourage more rigorous post-acquisition reviews. However, the complexity of deciding to self-disclose remains, with reputational and investigative costs being significant considerations.Private Equity Seeks Legal Guidance on New M&A Disclosure PolicyThe U.S. Supreme Court is set to hear a case challenging a federal law that prohibits individuals under domestic violence restraining orders from possessing firearms. The appeal comes after the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled the law unconstitutional, influenced by the Supreme Court's Bruen decision, which dictates that gun laws must align with the nation's historical tradition of firearm regulation. While gun rights advocates back the challenge, the Biden administration, some prosecutors, and former state chief justices argue for the law's necessity in protecting domestic violence victims. The case has crossed typical partisan lines, with some conservative figures supporting the law and public defenders, typically liberal, challenging it on grounds of over-criminalization and procedural fairness. The Supreme Court's decision will address the balance between gun rights and public safety in cases of domestic violence.Guns rights and domestic violence protections collide at US Supreme Court | ReutersElon Musk's restructuring of Twitter, now referred to as 'X', has significantly impacted disinformation research. Over 100 studies were canceled or altered due to limited access to Twitter's data, affecting researchers' ability to analyze misinformation spread during critical events. A previously free data tool used by researchers was discontinued in a cost-cutting move, with paid tiers now too expensive for most academics. This has led to concerns about the ability to conduct research ahead of major elections. Musk's legal action against the Center for Countering Digital Hate has also instilled fear of legal repercussions among researchers, further stifling independent scrutiny of the platform's handling of disinformation. This comes amid investigations by the EU into Twitter's compliance with new internet laws, which demand access to data for researchers under certain conditions.Elon Musk's X restructuring curtails disinformation research, spurs legal fears | Reuters Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

This week we're looking at the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), which just died in the Senate when, on Thursday, Senate Republicans blocked a measure that would have allowed it to be added to the Constitution. Senators voted 51 to 47 to invoke cloture on a motion to proceed, falling short of the 60 votes it needed. For those unaware, the way a motion to invoke cloture works is after cloture is invoked, the Senate automatically proceeds to consider the measure on which cloture was invoked. In other words “yeah, yeah, yeah, let's put this to a vote.” Sens. Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) and Susan Collins (Maine) were the lone Republicans to vote with every Democrat. The Senate resolution would have removed the deadline so that the ERA could become the 28th Amendment. Understanding why the removal of the deadline is important requires a quick overview of the history of the ERA.And so, from the top. The ERA is  a proposed amendment to the United States Constitution that seeks to guarantee equal rights for all citizens regardless of sex. The amendment was first introduced in Congress in 1923 and has been reintroduced in every session of Congress since then.The idea of an amendment to guarantee equal rights for women was first proposed by suffragist Alice Paul in 1921. She drafted the first version of the ERA, which read, "Men and women shall have equal rights throughout the United States and every place subject to its jurisdiction."The ERA was introduced in Congress the following year, but it failed to gain traction. It wasn't until the women's rights movement gained momentum in the 1960s and 1970s, nearly a half-century later, that the ERA gained widespread support.In 1972, the ERA was passed by Congress and sent to the states for ratification. The amendment stated, in relevant part:"SEC. 1. Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.SEC. 2. The Congress shall have the power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.SEC. 3. This amendment shall take effect two years after the date of ratification."The ratification process required approval from three-fourths of the states, or 38 states. Within a year, 30 states had ratified the amendment, and it seemed poised to become part of the Constitution.However, opposition to the ERA began to grow. Conservative groups, along with purpose-driven interest groups, argued that the amendment would erode traditional gender roles and family values. Some claimed that the ERA would lead to women being drafted into the military and losing their right to alimony and child support. Scare tactics and the usual “ah ah ah, be careful what you wish for” line of argumentation whenever notions of gender equality are discussed, in other words. These arguments resonated with many Americans, and the ERA quickly became a divisive issue. In 1978, Congress extended the deadline for ratification to 1982, but the amendment still fell short of the required 38 states. By the end of the deadline, only 35 states had ratified the ERA. Supporters of the amendment continued to push for ratification, but it remained in limbo for decades.In recent years, there has been renewed interest in the ERA. In 2017, Nevada became the 36th state to ratify the amendment, and Illinois followed suit in 2018. By 2020, Virginia became the 38th state to ratify the ERA, but it obviously did so after the last 1982 deadline to ratify the amendment had long passed. Further muddying the issue, in the intervening years several states — including Nebraska, Tennessee, Idaho, Kentucky and South Dakota — attempted to remove their prior approval. Thus, opponents and even the Department of Justice have argued that the deadline for ratification has passed and that the ERA cannot be added to the Constitution. In 2020, a federal judge ruled that the deadline was indeed expired. Advocates for the ERA have continued pushing for it to be added to the Constitution through other means.Two methods are available for proposing amendments to the Constitution, as outlined in Article V. Congress may propose amendments by passing a joint resolution with a two-thirds vote, which was what was attempted here. Alternatively, a convention may be called by Congress in response to applications from two-thirds of the state legislatures. That has never happened and is unlikely to happen any time soon. So the current state of play in 2023 in the United States is that an amendment to the constitution restricting equality of rights under the law from being abridged on the basis of sex is a political non-starter.  Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

This week Chris is talking about the history of the Women's Suffrage Movement in the USA. Starting in the mid 1800s, America is growing but the Declaration of Independence still holds true to "All Men are created equal". Women came together for the first time in New York to discuss their rights and that was remembered as the Seneca Falls Convention. Enter the Women's Suffrage movement. Women's suffrage is the right of women to vote in elections. We have women like, Susan B Anthony, Sojourner Truth, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Alice Paul and Carrie Chapman Catt fighting for women's rights. SHOUT OUT National Woman Suffrage Association! They came together to fight for the 19th Amendment and thanks to the industrial revolution, prohibition and many protests, they got the right to vote in 1920!

The ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920 removed obstacles to American women exercising their right to vote, but it didn't happen without a fight - and the final stage of that fight took place against the backdrop of World War I.  Unlike their British counterparts who largely paused their activism during the war, some American suffragists redoubled their efforts during the war. To discuss American women and the fight for suffrage during World War I and its immediate aftermath, the World War I Podcast interviewed Tina Cassidy, author of Mr. President, How Long Must We Wait?: Alice Paul, Woodrow Wilson, and the Fight for the Right to Vote.

As the suffrage movement played out on the national stage with women like Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Alice Paul leading the charge, Oklahomans were also working to see the 19th Amendment passed and ratified. In this episode, Trait Thompson and Dr. Bob Blackburn discuss the political landscape in Oklahoma and Indian Territories that initially rejected suffrage after 1890 along with their guest, Dr. Sunu Kodumthara from Southwestern Oklahoma State University. The trio expounds upon the contributions of Oklahoma suffragists such as Aloysius Larch-Miller, Narcissa Owen, and Kate Stafford that ultimately led to adoption of a state constitutional amendment in 1918 and the federal amendment in 1920. They also delve into the antisuffrage work of Alice Robertson, and Kate Barnard's decision to forgo suffrage work in lieu of her other causes

As we come full circle, Bunny's unique form of activism takes flight, while Rora makes a connection that changes her life forever as she walks through the Title IX office doors - doors her Aunt Bunny helped created - after she is sexually assaulted.  Though Rora was unable to share her story with Bunny, she is inspired to channel it through her senior thesis play and tell Bunny through her art. --- Feminist Files is written and produced by Leigh Fondakowski and Sarah Lambert Featuring the Feminist Files Ensemble: Jodie Foster as Dr. Bernice “Bunny” Sandler Samira Wiley as Pauli Murray Amy Hill as Representative Patsy Takemoto Mink Mercedes Hererro as Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Edith Green, Alice Paul, Phyllis Schlafly, and ensemble parts Margo Hall as Commissioner Frankie Freeman and ensemble parts Chris Rickett as Vincent Macaluso and ensemble parts Victoria Libertore as Ann Scott Christina Sajous as Shirley Chisholm Susan Maura Burns as Rosalind Rosenberg And Alex Grubbs, Jules Latimer, Ronald Peet, RyanNicole in ensemble parts Associate producers: Margo Hall, Victoria Libertore, and Diana Park Executive producers: Stacey Book, Dominique Ferrari, Avi Glijansky, and Rora Brodwin Original Music and Sound Design by: Gary Grundei Theme music created by: Gary Grundei with vocals by Silversmith Sound Engineering by: Julian Kwasneski Additional Engineering by: Donovan Dorrance Special Thanks to: Wendy Mink, Julia Lamber, Jean Robinson, The Scheslinger Library and its staff, Shari Hoffman, Charlotte Sheedy, and the estate of Pauli Murray.

In the last letter in the folder of correspondence with Bunny, Pauli Murray writes to share news of the ordination into the priesthood in the Episcopal Church, and Bunny is invited to the ceremony for Reverend Doctor Murray!  Pauli reflects on the slow work of change, and how many “lost causes” can, by taking the long view, eventually be won. --- Feminist Files is written and produced by Leigh Fondakowski and Sarah Lambert Featuring the Feminist Files Ensemble: Jodie Foster as Dr. Bernice “Bunny” Sandler Samira Wiley as Pauli Murray Amy Hill as Representative Patsy Takemoto Mink Mercedes Hererro as Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Edith Green, Alice Paul, Phyllis Schlafly, and ensemble parts Margo Hall as Commissioner Frankie Freeman and ensemble parts Chris Rickett as Vincent Macaluso and ensemble parts Victoria Libertore as Ann Scott Christina Sajous as Shirley Chisholm Susan Maura Burns as Rosalind Rosenberg And Alex Grubbs, Jules Latimer, Ronald Peet, RyanNicole in ensemble parts Associate producers: Margo Hall, Victoria Libertore, and Diana Park Executive producers: Stacey Book, Dominique Ferrari, Avi Glijansky, and Rora Brodwin Original Music and Sound Design by: Gary Grundei Theme music created by: Gary Grundei with vocals by Silversmith Sound Engineering by: Julian Kwasneski Additional Engineering by: Donovan Dorrance Special Thanks to: Wendy Mink, Julia Lamber, Jean Robinson, The Scheslinger Library and its staff, Shari Hoffman, Charlotte Sheedy, and the estate of Pauli Murray.

Opposition to Title IX heats up as the NCAA realizes what's at stake. Wendy Mink brings to vivid life her mother Patsy Takemoto Mink's - the first woman of color in Congress - role in crafting the succinct 37 words that would become Title IX.  As the bill gears up to go into effect in 1975, she will face the greatest battle of her career when Title IX's opponents move to kill it. But as Patsy leads the charge to defend Title IX, she's forced to choose between the survival of the bill… and of her own daughter. --- Feminist Files is written and produced by Leigh Fondakowski and Sarah Lambert Featuring the Feminist Files Ensemble: Jodie Foster as Dr. Bernice “Bunny” Sandler Samira Wiley as Pauli Murray Amy Hill as Representative Patsy Takemoto Mink Mercedes Hererro as Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Edith Green, Alice Paul, Phyllis Schlafly, and ensemble parts Margo Hall as Commissioner Frankie Freeman and ensemble parts Chris Rickett as Vincent Macaluso and ensemble parts Victoria Libertore as Ann Scott Christina Sajous as Shirley Chisholm And Alex Grubbs, Jules Latimer, Ronald Peet, RyanNicole in ensemble parts Associate producers: Margo Hall, Victoria Libertore, and Diana Park Executive producers: Stacey Book, Dominique Ferrari, Avi Glijansky, and Rora Brodwin Original Music and Sound Design by: Gary Grundei Theme music created by: Gary Grundei with vocals by Silversmith Sound Engineering by: Julian Kwasneski Additional Engineering by: Donovan Dorrance Special Thanks to: Wendy Mink, Julia Lamber, Jean Robinson, The Scheslinger Library and its staff, Shari Hoffman, Charlotte Sheedy, and the estate of Pauli Murray.

Pauli Murray, a co-founder of NOW, leaves the movement as well as a tenure track position at Brandeis. It's a stunning move for someone who's fought their entire lives to reach the pinnacle of their profession. Why?  In the Schlesinger Collection, Leigh discovers a torn journal and pieces together a narrative that takes us on an emotional roller coaster, following Pauli through a series of losses and struggles, as Pauli packs up the belongings of a life and the dog Roy, and makes a huge life change at age 63. --- Feminist Files is written and produced by Leigh Fondakowski and Sarah Lambert Featuring the Feminist Files Ensemble: Jodie Foster as Dr. Bernice “Bunny” Sandler Samira Wiley as Pauli Murray Amy Hill as Representative Patsy Takemoto Mink Mercedes Hererro as Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Edith Green, Alice Paul, Phyllis Schlafly, and ensemble parts Margo Hall as Commissioner Frankie Freeman and ensemble parts Chris Rickett as Vincent Macaluso and ensemble parts Victoria Libertore as Ann Scott Christina Sajous as Shirley Chisholm And Alex Grubbs, Jules Latimer, Ronald Peet, RyanNicole in ensemble parts Associate producers: Margo Hall, Victoria Libertore, and Diana Park Executive producers: Stacey Book, Dominique Ferrari, Avi Glijansky, and Rora Brodwin Original Music and Sound Design by: Gary Grundei Theme music created by: Gary Grundei with vocals by Silversmith Sound Engineering by: Julian Kwasneski Additional Engineering by: Donovan Dorrance Special Thanks to: Wendy Mink, Julia Lamber, Jean Robinson, The Scheslinger Library and its staff, Shari Hoffman, Charlotte Sheedy, and the estate of Pauli Murray.

When Tina Cassidy set out to write her book “Birth: The Surprising History of How We Are Born,”in 2006, it was the first time in about 50 years an extensive work had been written on the subject, and the first by a woman. Birth is such an essential and important part of every life cycle, and all of us have been through it. Why haven't we seen more on the topic?Tina Cassidy writes about women and culture. In addition to “Birth,” she is the author of “Mr. President, How Long Must We Wait? Alice Paul, Woodrow Wilson and the Fight for the Right to Vote,” as well as “Jackie After O: One Remarkable Year When Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Defied Expectations and Rediscovered Her Dreams.” A former journalist who spent most of her career at the Boston Globe covering business, fashion and politics, Tina is also the Chief Marketing Officer of GBH. She sits down with Greg to discuss the medicalization of the birthing process, birthing in different cultures and the uniqueness of human birth.Episode Quotes:Giving Birth: From Home to HospitalA midwife wouldn't necessarily be a professionally trained woman. It would just be, you know, someone's mother, aunt, neighbor from the village. Someone who had probably given birth herself and learned from other women who had attended births, right? And that started to change around a hundred years ago with the advent of pain relief drugs, where Queen Victoria was among the first to say that she wanted and needed this. And only a doctor could be smart enough to be able to deliver that pain relief. So that's why birth then began to move from the home to the hospital.Childbirth is a reflection of cultureThe way birth typically happens in any given culture is often a reflection of that culture.Cultural differences in birthing around the worldThe Dutch have had historically one of the highest levels of home birth anywhere in the world, even today. And if you think about the level of equality that Dutch women have in that society, it basically shows that people have faith in women giving birth. And that women have faith in themselves to give birth at home. Show Links:Guest Profile:Professional Profile at WGBH Educational FoundationAuthor's Profile at Simon & SchusterTina Cassidy's WebsiteTina Cassidy on LinkedInTina Cassidy on TwitterTina Cassidy on FacebookTina Cassidy on TEDxBeaconStreetHer Work:Birth: The Surprising History of How We Are BornMr. President, How Long Must We Wait?: Alice Paul, Woodrow Wilson, and the Fight for the Right to VoteJackie After O: One Remarkable Year When Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Defied Expectations and Rediscovered Her Dreams

Between the first part of our story and the second - we take a moment to pause and reflect on the role Title IX played in Leigh's early life, when the budding activist in Leigh was born, and the relationship of the artist to history – how the personal is the political – setting the stage for what's yet to come. --- Feminist Files is written and produced by Leigh Fondakowski and Sarah Lambert Featuring the Feminist Files Ensemble: Jodie Foster as Dr. Bernice “Bunny” Sandler Samira Wiley as Pauli Murray Amy Hill as Representative Patsy Takemoto Mink Mercedes Hererro as Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Edith Green, Alice Paul, Phyllis Schlafly, and ensemble parts Margo Hall as Commissioner Frankie Freeman and ensemble parts Chris Rickett as Vincent Macaluso and ensemble parts Victoria Libertore as Ann Scott Christina Sajous as Shirley Chisholm And Alex Grubbs, Jules Latimer, Ronald Peet, RyanNicole in ensemble parts Associate producers: Margo Hall, Victoria Libertore, and Diana Park Executive producers: Stacey Book, Dominique Ferrari, Avi Glijansky, and Rora Brodwin Original Music and Sound Design by: Gary Grundei Theme music created by: Gary Grundei with vocals by Silversmith Sound Engineering by: Julian Kwasneski Additional Engineering by: Donovan Dorrance Special Thanks to: Wendy Mink, Julia Lamber, Jean Robinson, The Scheslinger Library and its staff, Shari Hoffman, Charlotte Sheedy, and the estate of Pauli Murray.

Returning to the Bunny Sandler Collection at the Schlesinger, Leigh finds a folder of letters between Bunny and Pauli Murray, chronicling their growing camaraderie and friendship. The two share stories from the year's struggles - the fight for the ERA, which is gaining steam and a new stealth campaign for legislation that could become Title IX.   These two landmark legislative goals are still up for grabs in this election year, when Women are proving a force to be reckoned with.  Women like activist Flo Kennedy, who is going to raise the roof, like that hurricane off the coast of Florida. --- Feminist Files is written and produced by Leigh Fondakowski and Sarah Lambert Featuring the Feminist Files Ensemble: Jodie Foster as Dr. Bernice “Bunny” Sandler Samira Wiley as Pauli Murray Amy Hill as Representative Patsy Takemoto Mink Mercedes Hererro as Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Edith Green, Alice Paul, Phyllis Schlafly, and ensemble parts Margo Hall as Commissioner Frankie Freeman and ensemble parts Chris Rickett as Vincent Macaluso and ensemble parts Victoria Libertore as Ann Scott Christina Sajous as Shirley Chisholm And Alex Grubbs, Jules Latimer, Ronald Peet, RyanNicole in ensemble parts Associate producers: Margo Hall, Victoria Libertore, and Diana Park Executive producers: Stacey Book, Dominique Ferrari, Avi Glijansky, and Rora Brodwin Original Music and Sound Design by: Gary Grundei Theme music created by: Gary Grundei with vocals by Silversmith Sound Engineering by: Julian Kwasneski Additional Engineering by: Donovan Dorrance Special Thanks to: Wendy Mink, Julia Lamber, Jean Robinson, The Scheslinger Library and its staff, Shari Hoffman, Charlotte Sheedy, and the estate of Pauli Murray.

Composer and performer Shaina Taub is the creator of the hit off-Broadway musical, "SUFFS," and stars in the show as Alice Paul, one of the leaders of the suffragist movement and the campaign for the 19th Amendment. Taub also recently released the solo album, Songs of the Great Hill, inspired by the Central Park meadow where she would take daily walks. She joins us to discuss both projects.

As America entered World War I, the suffrage movement split into a two-pronged attack. Alice Paul and her National Woman's Party took their protests to the White House gates. Meanwhile, Carrie Chapman Catt and her group, the National American Woman Suffrage Association, lobbied to prove the loyalty and patriotism of American women, hoping they would be rewarded with the ballot.Together, these two groups would finally succeed in pushing a new amendment through Congress, granting women the right to vote. But before it could become law, it would have to be ratified by the states – leading to a dramatic showdown in the final state the suffragists needed, Tennessee.Listen ad free with Wondery+.

In March 1913, thousands of suffrage activists converged on Washington, D.C. for a new form of protest. They were going to march down Pennsylvania Avenue to demand an amendment to the U.S. Constitution, guaranteeing women the right to vote. Their leader, Alice Paul, was a young rising star in the movement. Her dramatic protests outside the White House would grab headlines across America. But they would also spark fierce and sometimes violent resistance.Listen ad free with Wondery+. Join Wondery+ for exclusives, binges, early access, and ad free listening.
