Ep. 69 Amy Richards - Really Interesting Women podcastAmy Richards describes herself as an author, producer and organizer. But those generic terms hardly describe her enormous global influences on modern feminist thinking. In fact, she is the president of Soapbox, Inc., the world's largest feminist speakers' bureau, and the affiliated Soapbox Foundation, creators of Feminist Camp. She co-founded and spent several years leading the Third Wave Foundation now known as the Third Wave Fund, a national organization for young feminist activists which promotes gender justice and is a movement to end patriarchy, transphobia, homophobia, and misogyny. She was a producer of the Emmy nominated TV series, Woman, an executive producer on the movie The Glorias starring Julianne Moore, a consulting producer on the HBO documentary Gloria Steinem: In Her Own Words and an advisor to PBS documentary on the women's movement in America, MAKERS: Women Making America. She is most popularly known as the co-author (with Jennifer Baumgardner) of her book Manifesta: Young Women, Feminism & the Future which just issued a 20th anniversary edition. Put simply, she's a leading global voice for contemporary feminist issues.#Reallyinterestingwomen #RIW #amyrichards #soapboxinc #thirdwavefund #gloriasteinem #theglorias #feminism #patriarchy #genderequality #futurewomen #profoundwomen #womenofinfluence #womenofimpact #feministcamp #manifesta #thridwave #metoo #extraordinarywomen #womensequality #generationwomen #womensleadershipImage via Soapbox, Inc.
For the last installment for Smut Month, Heaven discusses Purity Culture--an abstinence movement that requires young girls to pledge purity to their fathers until marriage. Often times this is cemented in an elaborate ceremony known as "Purity Balls" where they make these pledges to their fathers. In this episode, Heaven points out how Purity Culture treats young girls like property, can lead to self-worth and self-esteem issues, an attempt to control the sexuality of young women, and some of the creepy elements attached to this movement.Heaven also makes a major show announcement."Pledging My Purity To Dad (Celibacy Documentary) ":https://youtu.be/3mhez8t8IFs"Would You Pledge Your Virginity to Your Father?" by Jennifer Baumgardner:https://www.glamour.com/story/purity-balls"The Purity Myth: How America's Obsession with Virginity Is Hurting Young Women" by Jessica Valenti:https://www.sealpress.com/titles/jessica-valenti/the-purity-myth/9780786744664/Support me:http://patreon.com/HWRpod paypal.me/chickdelalynch

Opowiadamy o wydarzeniach, które sprawiły, że narodziła się trzecia fala feminizmu, czyli ta, która dobitnie domaga się słyszalności wielu głosów i która pyta o przyszłość samego ruchu.

Jennifer Baumgardner and Amy Richards’ book Manifesta: Young Women, Feminism, and The Future was released in 2000 as a chronicle of the third-wave feminist movement they were experiencing. The book has since become a classic of contemporary feminist literature and the 20th anniversary edition hit shelves March 10. In this episode of BUST’s Poptarts Podcast—recorded before the Corona Virus pandemic sent us all into social distancing mode—the dynamic activist duo looks back on Manifesta 20 years later, imagines the future of feminism, and discusses what the Harvey Weinstein verdict means for women. (Remember him?)
What's in this episode?Time to get all into mess. I know, as adults, people try to shy away or hide from their mess because it's not what put together grown folks do. Well, screw all of that. We all have some type of mess in our lives, whether it's financial, career, family, friends, relationships -- and that's okay! We shouldn't hide from it or pretend like it's not there because that's not how it works (unfortunately). So what do you do? Celebrate it? Okay. Cry over it? Why, not? Personally, I say own that shit. Learn from it and use it to keep going, creating, moving forward. But don't hide or lock it away like it's nothing. That won't benefit you. This episode was inspired by the lovely Jennifer Baumgardner and the post I reference in the show is here! Check her out!And as always, thank you for listening to my lovely show.
