Listen Later

Lisa Levenstein, PhD, has a traditional feminist job - she's a professor of Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at UNC-Greensboro. She's on The Feminist Agenda to discuss her latest book, They Didn't See Us Coming: The Hidden History of Feminism in the Nineties, which showcases many feminist activists who were doing non-traditional feminist work in the 1990s. Lisa uses the 1995 Beijing Women's Conference to show how the 1990s were a pivotal, but undervalued moment in feminist history. 

Topics we touch on:

  • Time Magazine's obituary of feminism
  • Jane Collective
  • Carework during the pandemic
  • Ai-Jen Poo
  • Marketplace Feminism
  • Organizing tools Lisa mentions

    • Asana
    • Todoist 
    • The Feminist Agenda logo is by Valency Muldoon.
