We are officially in the home stretch of this year, and if you're running on fumes, join the club (even if no one else is admitting to being in it!)
Ten years ago, a group of women in The Irish Times got together to envisage a podcast that told stories about the female experience and provided a space for women to share their passions, projects and plights. From there, The Irish Times Women's Podcast was born. Over the past ten years, the podcast has heard from political leaders, sexual abuse survivors, campaigners, comedians, health professionals, authors, academics, relationship experts and every(woman) in between. Earlier this week, to celebrate a decade of conversation, craic and captivating stories, The Women's Podcast hosted a live event at the Peacock Theatre in Dublin. On the night, Róisín Ingle and Kathy Sheridan reflected on the most memorable moments from ten years of telling stories - from Waking the Feminists to Repealing the 8th - with contributions from some special guests in the audience. Irish Times opinion editor Jennifer O'Connell was also there on the night to discuss some of the biggest stories of the week. Plus, poet and friend of the show Jan Brierton delivered a gorgeous poem called The Revolution will be Podcast. In today's episode, we're bringing you a selection of highlights from the nights festivities. Enjoy! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Feminism's Empire (Cornell UP, 2022) investigates the complex relationships between imperialisms and feminisms in the late nineteenth century and demonstrates the challenge of conceptualizing "pro-imperialist" and "anti-imperialist" as binary positions. By intellectually and spatially tracing the era's first French feminists' engagement with empire, Carolyn J. Eichner explores how feminists opposed—yet employed—approaches to empire in writing, speaking, and publishing. In differing ways, they ultimately tied forms of imperialism to gender liberation. Among the era's first anti-imperialists, French feminists were enmeshed in the hierarchies and epistemologies of empire. They likened their gender-based marginalization to imperialist oppressions. Imperialism and colonialism's gendered and sexualized racial hierarchies established categories of inclusion and exclusion that rested in both universalism and ideas of "nature" that presented colonized people with theoretical, yet impossible, paths to integration. Feminists faced similar barriers to full incorporation due to the gendered contradictions inherent in universalism. The system presumed citizenship to be male and thus positioned women as outsiders. Feminism's Empire connects this critical struggle to hierarchical power shifts in racial and national status that created uneasy linkages between French feminists and imperial authorities. Dr. Carolyn J. Eichner about is a Professor of History and Women's and Gender Studies at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. Feminism's Empire is her third book. Surmounting the Barricades: Women in the Paris Commune came out in 2004 and The Paris Commune: A Brief History came out in 2022. Surmounting the Barricades: Women in the Paris Commune was published in French as Franchir les barricades: les femmes dans la Commune de Paris (Éditions de la Sorbonne, 2020). Translated by Bastien Craipain, it was a finalist for the Prix Augustin Thierry in 2021, an award from the city of Paris for a historical study concerning the period between Antiquity and the late 19th century. In 2022-2023 she will be a Fulbright Research scholar in France and will be in residence at the Camargo Foundation in Cassis. Michael G. Vann is a professor of world history at California State University, Sacramento. A specialist in imperialism and the Cold War in Southeast Asia, he is the author of The Great Hanoi Rat Hunt: Empires, Disease, and Modernity in French Colonial Vietnam (Oxford University Press, 2018).

Former feminist Breanna Benton (CFADD Family Champion) sits down with Monique to expose how Black feminism quietly reshaped culture, emasculated men, and broke families—without most women even realizing it. From “I don't need a man” to embracing biblical submission, headship, and explosive family growth—this is the raw conversation the church needs.

===Snippets From The Summit=== Granted, it's easy to allow ourselves to believe all women are atrocious and we're better off simply avoiding them. And often we can have legitimate reasons for thinking and feeling that way. But let's face it, men who've slipped into that mindset find themselves as miserable as Feminists who become man-haters. The good news is there's a clear mindset shift you can make that will not only transform how you view women, it'll actually change how they perceive you as well. It may feel difficult at first, but there is no more natural way to go...it's even embedded in our primal instincts. Better men get better women. That's the new logo, and the new look at https://mountaintoppodcast.com === HELP US SEND THE MESSAGE TO GREAT MEN EVERYWHERE === Snippets From The Summit are all about completely original ideas for success with women that also happen to be extemely effective...and actionable.

It's so easy to go down the rabbit hole of shiny things, but today I'm singing the praises of the boring basics, and how that can have a really fabulous impact on your life.
Book Talk for BookTok with Jac & Amy treats your favorite BookTok novels, romance and romantasy, like literature. We bring real tools of analysis (themes, imagery, symbolism, character arcs) through two lenses:Feminist (gender roles, power, agency, archetypes) and Marxist (class, labor, capital, institutions). Same rigor as a lit class, only with more jokes and less homework. Two episodes weekly:Tuesday = Analysis • Thursday = Listener Thoughts on Breadcrumbs & Broomsticks Spoilers: Today covers Heir of Fire Ch. 32–35 with context from earlier Throne of Glass books. Anything beyond these chapters (or other SJM works) is saved for Thursday.Chapters covered: 32–35 Episode Summary Manon and Abraxos plunge toward certain death until the unthinkable happens. With wings unfurled, Abraxos takes flight for the first time, carrying Manon into the skies and sealing their bond. Across the sea in Wendlyn, Celaena's fragile connection with Rowan begins to fracture when Gavriel's arrival rekindles Rowan's old loyalties. Insecure, Celaena's outburst spirals into another wave of despair that leaves her isolated within Mistward. But even Rowan isn't immune to rebuke, when Emrys confronts him for his cruelty, Rowan seeks redemption the only way he knows: through rigorous training. During a training exercise gone wrong, a monstrous creature rises from the depths, forcing Celaena to unleash her fury, not at the beast, but at Rowan himself. In the aftermath, both are stripped bare, sharing their deepest griefs and choosing, at last, to face the pain together. This week's guiding question: In what ways are Celaena and Rowan developing in this series of chapters — and does this moment mark the beginning of true evolution, or just a temporary truce between two broken people?

In this powerful and eye-opening conversation, we sit down with Dr. Carrie Gress to discuss her upcoming book, Something Wicked: Why Feminism Can't Be Fused with Christianity.Together, we walk through the origins of the feminist movement, the key players who shaped it, and how the ideology has evolved into the modern wave we see today. Dr. Gress exposes the hidden philosophies, spiritual influences, and cultural currents that have guided feminism from the very beginning—many of which directly contradict the Christian worldview.We explore tough but essential questions:Is it possible to be both Christian and feminist?What are the underlying motives embedded in the movement?Why has feminism so often undermined marriage, motherhood, and the dignity of women?How did we get from women's rights to today's aggressive, anti-family activism?Dr. Gress brings clarity, history, and deep insight to a topic that shapes nearly every corner of the culture. Whether you agree or not, this conversation will challenge you to look beyond the slogans and see what's really at work.If you're passionate about faith, culture, marriage, and the future of the Church, you won't want to miss this episode.Subscribe, share, and join the conversation as we dive into one of the most important cultural debates of our time.https://linktr.ee/bobbyfred85

Cardon Ellis hosts, Laura E. Welch and Brittany for a heartfelt discussion about feminism, motherhood, and the highly publicized scrutiny faced by the social media personality behind Ballerina Farm, Hannah, who is known for her large family and entrepreneurial success.The conversation starts with reflections on leadership, quoting Joseph Smith on how women in the church should lead by example rather than being led by worldly standards. Laura E. Welch stresses that “true” feminism should be about choice and empowerment supporting women whether they choose to focus on careers, motherhood, or both. She describes how the attacks on Ballerina Farm expose a narrow, sometimes intolerant strain within modern feminism that dismisses women who find fulfillment in more traditional roles.

Today I've got a deceptively simple question for you!
Welcome to the new era of the podcast – now known as Body-Led Woman. We live in a time where women are told to be hyper-independent and self-sufficient. A time where we're told we don't need men. But beneath the ambition, the independence, and the pressure to have it all together, there is often a deep hunger for love. A longing to be chosen, held, and adored. To feel safe to soften. → Join Receiving Him – the 7-day somatic immersion – become the woman who inspires his love and leadership – and knows how to receive it in her body and heart Yet because we've created a culture where women feel safer doing everything themselves, where the idea of worshipping your beloved feels radical AF. We want strong, grounded masculine men, but we also take up all the leading space. And then we feel disappointed when they're not rising to meet us in our power. So how do we love men in a world that is so wildly confused about love, men and women? In this episode, you'll hear the deeper reasons women push away the love they want and why surrendering to men feels so edgy. You'll learn how hyper-independence becomes a new cage that blocks intimacy. How do we love men in the post-feminist era and ending the quiet battle between the sexes that is exhausting us all? How do we honor our power, independence, ambition, and leadership without losing the capacity to surrender, soften, and open to devotional love? If your body has been aching for a new paradigm, if your heart has been whispering that there must be a way for men and women to rise together, this conversation is an invitation to rethink how we love, how we relate, and how we can co-empower each other. HIGHLIGHTS: The truth about why modern dating feels so confusing (for both men and women). The hidden double bind men are facing today that no one talks about. The underlying wounded narratives shaping modern womanhood. How to become the kind of woman who inspires devotion and leadership in a man. The collective resentment towards men Ending the battle of the sexes Why loving men in the post-feminist era has become an act of rebellion. How "not needing men" becomes a new cage that blocks women from receiving love. → Join Receiving Him – the 7-day somatic immersion – become the woman who inspires his love and leadership – and knows how to receive it in her body and heart

Book Talk for BookTok with Jac & Amy treats your favorite BookTok novels, romance and romantasy, like literature. We bring real tools of analysis (themes, imagery, symbolism, character arcs) to your favorite books. Two episodes weekly: Tuesday = Analysis Thursday = Listener Thoughts and breadcrumbs Spoilers: Today covers Heir of Fire with context from earlier Throne of Glass books. Anything beyond these first three books (or other SJM works) is saved for Thursday. Chapters covered: 26–31 Episode summary Across Wendlyn, Aelin Galathynius finally starts mastering her Fae form—sharpened senses, hard-won control, and a flicker of joy she didn't think she deserved. While Rowan Whitethorn pushes her training into something almost playful, their investigation into brutal village killings drags Aelin back into the question she keeps dodging: is she truly becoming herself, or just learning a new disguise to survive? In Rifthold, Chaol Westfall and Aedion Ashryver search Celaena's hidden apartment, a shrine to the girl she was and the queen she tried to bury. The discovery deepens their uneasy alliance with Ren Allsbrook and Murtaugh, but that partnership is tested fast when the King of Adarlan's secret guard hunts them through the slums. As they dodge black-clad predators and face the cost of rebellion, Chaol's “protector” instincts collide with reality, forcing him to decide whether he's growing or just repeating the same patterns in a new key. Meanwhile, Dorian Havilliard and Sorscha work to suppress his volatile magic. One small act of control sparks a kiss that could destroy them both. And high in the Ferian Gap, Manon Blackbeak tries to forge Abraxos into the weapon her world demands: iron spikes, iron teeth, iron will. But Abraxos refuses the script. His gentleness, fear, and stubborn survival force Manon to confront a terrifying possibility: maybe strength isn't dominance. Maybe it's partnership. Her desperate attempt to make him fly ends in a brutal fall that changes both of them, marking the first real crack in the empire that built her. This week's question Are Aelin, Chaol, and Dorian actually growing in Heir of Fire—or are they repeating old patterns under new disguises, and calling it progress?
