In this week's episode we discuss actress Jane Fonda, her life, her career, and her activism. We look at her early experiences including her marriages and the activism she engaged in during the Vietnam war. As part of this we consider how the media treated what was likely an honest mistake. Next we reevaluate the labels she was given throughout her life and see what more was happening behind the scenes. Finally we wrap up with how she has actively tried to make changes for women in Hollywood, stood up for the underdog, and used her voice and platform to further what she considers important 21st century activism.
