Marjorie Spruill, historian and author of the book “Divided we stand”, tells us about the 1977 Houston Women's Conference and how it was an amazing celebration of American women as well as a tool for furthering a growing divide.
This event really did pave the way for the extreme partisan politics we see today.
*Disclaimer, you do not need to watch the "Mrs. America" limited series to enjoy the history conversation in this podcast. However, the 8th episode of the series is a good companion piece for this podcast episode.
