In this episode, we welcome Dr. Harriet Fraad, a distinguished Mental Health Counselor, Hypnotherapist, and pioneering figure in the Feminist Movement. Dr. Fraad offers her profound insights into the ways political, economic, and personal spheres intertwine. With a lifelong commitment to political activism and substantial contributions to public education, childcare, and midwifery rights, she provides a unique perspective on the societal challenges and transformations of today. Dr. Fraad hosts "Capitalism Hits Home," a podcast that examines the intersection of economic and personal life, and "Interpersonal Update," a regular radio segment on WBAI.
Takeaways:
- The feminist movement has evolved over time, with the first wave focusing on women's suffrage and the second wave addressing broader issues of gender equality.
- Class disparities and income inequality are important factors that intersect with gender and racial inequalities.
- The decline of manufacturing jobs in the United States has contributed to income disparity and the need for a stronger union movement.
- A united movement that encompasses various marginalized groups is necessary to address systemic inequalities and achieve meaningful change. The nuclear family structure has disintegrated due to changing economic and societal conditions.
- There is a lack of financial support for single mothers, leading to high poverty rates.
- Income disparity between single mothers and single fathers is significant.
