In this week's show, guest-hosted by FFRF Communications Director Amit Pal, we first touch on a number of events in the news, ranging from the international to the national to recent Wisconsin election results. We then talk with FFRF Staff Attorney Sam Grover about how the term "religious freedom" is being currently used and misused. We conclude with an interview with documentarian Mary Dore, the director of a film on the early women's rights movement, She's Beautiful When She's Angry, on how and why she made the movie and its relevance to the state of women's rights today.
March 4 is the last Women's Magazine show during this fund drive. We will be speaking with author and scholar Imani Perry about her brand new book, Looking for Lorraine: the radiant and radical life of Lorraine Hansberry, which makes use of recently released papers that fill in much of what's been hidden about Hansberry's life, including her Communist party and lesbian writings. We'll be offering Perry's book as a thank you gift for your pledge during this hour, or you can choose from any of the gifts on our website, or you can donate whatever you can at +1-800-439-5732 (HEY-KPFA).
