I came across Naomi Snider's book at The Strand in New York, jumping in to get out of the rain. The catchy cover and title caught my attention and after I picked the book up I couldn't put it down.
She and her co-author, Carol Gilligan, take a stab at why the cultural condition we've lived under, patriarchy, is so well described and diagnosed yet so difficult to dislodge. The book is very thought provoking and very well researched.
I reached out to Naomi and amazingly, she shot me an email back and said she'd be happy to talk on the podcast.
The conversation takes off a bit when we get into the meat of the work, and attempt to talk through some honest disagreements. A trained lawyer, she's working on getting her license in psychoanalysis (this makes me feel like I'm definitely not doing enough with my life).
This conversation was a lot of fun, and so was the book (my copy is so annotated from from to back, I might post a pic on social media to show how much I contended with it). Honestly, I'd have a chat like this with her any day, she's great.
