Maxine "Max" Feldman (1945-2007) was a folk singer-songwriter who made significant contributions to the women's music movement through her unwavering commitment to living authentically and openly. We're celebrating Pride Month with Icons: supreme queens of queer culture. Some are household names... others are a little more behind the scenes. All of them have defied social norms and influenced generations of people to be unapologetically themselves. History classes can get a bad rap, and sometimes for good reason. When we were students, we couldn't help wondering... where were all the ladies at? Why were so many incredible stories missing from the typical curriculum? Enter, Womanica. On this Wonder Media Network podcast we explore the lives of inspiring women in history you may not know about, but definitely should. Every weekday, listeners explore the trials, tragedies, and triumphs of groundbreaking women throughout history who have dramatically shaped the world around us. In each 5 minute episode, we'll dive into the story behind one woman listeners may or may not know–but definitely should. These diverse women from across space and time are grouped into easily accessible and engaging monthly themes like Educators, Villains, Indigenous Storytellers, Activists, and many more.  Womanica is hosted by WMN co-founder and award-winning journalist Jenny Kaplan. The bite-sized episodes pack painstakingly researched content into fun, entertaining, and addictive daily adventures.  Womanica was created by Liz Kaplan and Jenny Kaplan, executive produced by Jenny Kaplan, and produced by Liz Smith, Grace Lynch, Maddy Foley, Brittany Martinez, Edie Allard, Lindsey Kratochwill, Adesuwa Agbonile, Carmen Borca-Carrillo, Taylor Williamson, Ale Tejeda, Sara Schleede, and Abbey Delk.

Laura Flanders' full uncut conversation with Black abolitionist feminist Beth Richie and Queer southern feminist Suzanne Pharr where they discuss their work as organizers spanning 40 years fighting for an inclusive women's movement. In 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court could overturn Roe v Wade, imperiling all women's freedoms, and creating a new pipeline to prison for the vulnerable just as the world is learning how counterproductive most incarceration - solutions are. Today's guests argue that things could have been very different. If the white dominated “choice” movement had paid closer attention to all women's choices, or lack thereof; If anti-violence advocates had rejected criminalization and incarceration as a solution to the violence in women's lives. Things could have been different, our guests argue, if a different part of the US women's movement had gained more attention - attention it is beginning to get now. There has always been such a movement, they know, because they were there. Today we talk to Black abolitionist feminist Beth Richie and Queer southern feminist Suzanne Pharr have worked together, for abolition, feminism, and a systemicly different world for forty years.  What have they learned? And what is their message for us now, when so much hangs in the balance? Full episode notes are posted at https://Patreon.com/theLFShow   Patreon Members have early access to the FULL UNCUT Meet the BIPOC Press Roundtable with URL Media on Voting Rights.

This week we had to split the episode into two... because we had a lot to talk about personally and we were all over the place.  Its been a week people. We start off talking about Bree's awful day and how she was cranky and in a terrible mood all day and could not shake it. She also talked about how she has been on an emotional roller coaster from her cycle being late this month to Miles getting really triggering news at the cardiologist.  It seems like there is always something when your child is sick.Then Liz talks about how she struggled at work this week because she had off  Labor Day, so the week just seemed to drag on forever. This brought up the topic of the work/life balance and how incredibly insane it is that we work more than we are able to see our family and friends and have a normal life outside of working. Should we only be working 4 days instead of 5? Bree explains the science behind "time flies" and also what she has read about the breakfast and snack phenomenon. Supposedly we aren't supposed to be eating snacks, and well Liz thinks that's bullshit lol. Then Liz shares how if she were around during the women's right movement she would not have been burning her bra to have to work a full time job at home and another one away from home... Bree on the other hand would have burned any bra she could find to get out of the house. Liz talks about how ideal it sounds in theory to homeschool kids, but Bree shares how that is not a reality she wants to live with her kids. The break is needed. Let us know all your thoughts and opinions on these topics on Instagram @relatablerealitypodcast and don't forget to download, subscribe and RATE US!

International Women’s Day was celebrated on 8 March. It aims to commemorate the cultural, political, and socioeconomic achievements of women and bring attention to issues such as gender equality, reproductive rights, and violence against women. Since the fall of Soeharto, the Indonesian women's movement has been instrumental in pushing for affirmative action policies that have promoted women's participation in politics, and have successfully advocated for policies to protect the rights of women, such as the 2004 Law on Domestic Violence. At the same time, however, major challenges remain, particularly in maternal health, violence against women and discrimination. In Indonesia, as elsewhere, women are raising their voices and calling for improvements to women’s safety and equality. What has been achieved in terms of women’s rights and equality in the post-authoritarian era in Indonesia? Are more women entering politics and what impact are they having? What are the issues driving the women’s movement today? In Talking Indonesia this week, Dr Jemma Purdey speaks to Dr Kurniawati Hastuti Dewi a senior researcher at the Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI), about Indonesia’s women’s movement and its role in bringing about social and political change. Kurniawati Hastuti Dewi is a senior researcher at Center for Political Studies, Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI). Her research interests are in the areas of gender and politics, women and politics, gender and decentralization. She received her MA in Asian Studies from the Australian National University (2007) and PhD from the Graduate School of Asian and African Area Studies (ASAFAS) Kyoto University Japan (2012). Her doctoral dissertation was published as a book, Indonesian Women and Local Politics: Islam, Gender and Networks in Post-Suharto Indonesia (Singapore: National University of Singapore Press & Kyoto University Press, 2015). Her latest research explores the usage of motherhood identity in the 2019 Indonesian presidential election was published as ‘Motherhood Identity in the 2019 Indonesian Presidential Elections: Populism and Political Division in the National Women’s Movement’, Contemporary Southeast Asia vol. 42, no. 2 (2020): 224-250.

The discussion finishes with the slow eclipse of the CWM until its final demise and how that affected the future generations of communist women.   Daria and Mike Taber have an upcoming book on this topic through Brill's Historical Materialism series.   -------   Other resources:   Interview with Daria and Mike Taber on the CWM, and their upcoming book on it.   The Communist Women's Movement - John Riddell

Few political projects in recent years have been a source of greater hope and inspiration than Rojava - the Kurdish region of north-eastern Syria. Inspired by the political philosophy of Abdullah Öcalan, the imprisoned co-founder of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), Rojava embodies a radical ecology, direct democracy and a deep commitment to gender equality. Although always threatened by a hostile regional geopolitics, the Kurdish people’s revolutionary social and political experiment finds itself now under renewed bombardment. On 6th October Donald Trump announced the withdrawal of US troops from the region, effectively giving the green light to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to invade, under the auspices of creating a buffer zone in which up to a million Syrian refugees who had fled to Turkey might live. Just a few weeks on and hundreds of Kurds have been killed, and hundreds of thousands forced to leave their homes. On 2nd November we spoke to two activists from the Kurdish women’s movement, Dilar Dirik and Elif Sarican, to discuss the situation in Rojava, and what meaningful action is needed in order to safeguard its future. --- For wider reading on the subject, go to plutobooks.com/podcastreading Women Defend Rojava campaign: https://womendefendrojava.net/en/

Stories from the Stacks

Americans value equality, but have competing visions of what it should look like. The twentieth-century women’s movement was riven by class divisions. Elite women within the movement favored the uncompromising Equal Rights Amendment; while working women feared that it would undermine gains they had made in gendered workplace protections, and so favored the Women’s Status Bill, which would preserve regulation against exploitation of women workers. This division opened the possibility of business interests appealing to and splitting off a segment of organized American women. In this episode of Stories from the Stacks, labor historian Emily Twarog, associate professor in the School of Labor & Employment Relations at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, discusses how business interests appealed to the women’s movement with explicit validation of women’s socio-economic importance, and calls to rally women to the cause of free enterprise and the defense of the American way of life. Using Hagley Library collections, including the National Association of Manufacturers collection, Twarog discovered that business interests organized systematic efforts to cultivate a pro-business, politically conscious and activated segment of women to deploy as a force for conservatism. At a time of record-high unionization, labor organizations made limited efforts to organize and empower women’s groups. Meanwhile, business interests successfully coopted the momentum of women’s organizations, and turned it to their own purposes. To support her use of Hagley Library collections, Dr. Twarog received an Exploratory Research Grant from the Center for the History of Business, Technology, & Society.

When I started this podcast, I set the intention to explore purpose from every angle and to make sure I created a space for conversations that sat on the edge of change in the creation of a new future. That is why...I also felt that it was essential to better understand the role of purpose through the lens of those who are literally creating that future...movement makers that include the teachers, the university professors and the entrepreneurs out there who are using their tools, talents and time to inspire, educate and activate the next generation.And this is a generation that are seeking purpose. Young people who are inspired by the likes of Greta Thurberg who has been all over the news this week heading up the global school strike for climate change, or Emma Gonzales an American activist and advocate for gun control. So the question beckons...how are universities responding to the rise of purpose and are educational bodies nurturing purpose in young people?Today's guest is someone who is not only an amazing human being, but she is also a prominent member of the global community of purpose pioneers in the CSR and education space. Dr Debbie Haski-Leventhal is a Professor in Management at Macquarie Graduate School of Management. She is the author of "Strategic CSR: Tools and theories for responsible management" (SAGE).Debbie is a leader of responsible management education and works with the United Nation's Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME), conducting international studies on business students and their attitudes towards CSR and responsible management education. Debbie has published several reports and papers on the topic, and this work was covered by the international media, including in the New York Times and Financial Review.Today, she has ignited a brand new passion for social change and hopes to start a movement of purpose-driven universities. She is currently writing a new book on the subject and recently debuted on the Tedx stage, sharing her passion and ideologies for the future of purpose in universities.Today, we explored so many themes, including:Why our understanding of CSR in business is evolvingThe rise of corporate political activism as a future trend.The public perception of universities and why purpose can flip that perspectiveWhy young people have all of the tools and the desire to become movement makers and how universities can facilitate that?We explore whether there is a connection between the women's movement and the rise of purpose.And much much more.So kick back, grab yourself a cup of coffee or tea and jump on board the decoding purpose bus! Maybe one day, it will be possible to gain a masters in purpose and be part of a movement that is creating a brand new world. Welcome to the podcast, Debbie Haski-Leventhal.

"The music is just a reflection of the culture. People started to ask for their voices to be heard; The Womens Movement, the Gay Movement, Black Power Movement. All those things started to cross polinate each other. And it played itself out in nightclubs." – Nile Rodgers - I Was There When House Took Over the World House videreførte essensen i disco, da Frankie Knuckles og en liten gruppe nyskapende DJ-er skapte en helt ny sound og la grunnlaget for Dance Music som vi kjenner det i dag. I denne episoden får du en liten innføring i House musikkens historie, og en prat med Andrew Anfinnsen, daglig leder på Lokal i Trondheim, om hvordan et utested i dag kan gi uttrykk 
for positive samfunnsverdier som mangfold, dialog og inkludering. Betegnelsen House ble først brukt om klubbscenen som musikksjangeren sprang ut av; nattklubben The Warehouse som ble etablert i Chicago i 1977. På slutten av 80-årene spredte house seg til Europa, og siden har det oppstått en rekke undersjangre, men felles for alle er dansegulv-orienterte og stødige «four-to-the-floor»-beats produsert med elektroniske instrumenter som trommemaskiner, synthesizere, og samplere.
