Episode 10: It's not about Feminism
In this episode Kelsie and Brooke celebrate 10 episodes, the life of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and her fight for equal treatment under law. Further, they talk about how her case is just another example of calling human rights the dirty f-word, "feminist." Then we correct the narrative that "feminists are making up history to include more women" In reality, like with the warriors who fought against ancient Rome-- women were always there. It's not about feminism. Support our work at www.patreon.com/remedialherstory Find lesson plans at http://www.remedialherstory.com/world-history.html ...
