In the midst of a virulent gender backlash and relentless attacks on our rights and freedoms, imagining a better future can feel impossible. In this season finale, we suggest an antidote to this feeling of doom: hope. Not as an emotion but as a practice. As inspiration, we highlight the unique power of women-led resistance efforts, tell the overlooked stories of a trans survivor of Nazi Germany, and begin to articulate our north star vision for gender, family, and a more just, pluralistic nation.<hr> Hosted on Acast.

"Hope is a Discipline"

White Picket Fence interrogates the structures of inequity affecting women since the United States' founding. On the newest season, host Julie Kohler investigates a long-brewing gender backlash that’s reached a boiling point in American politics. Join us in pulling back the curtain on an extremist agenda designed to enforce strict gender roles. An agenda that stands to harm millions of Americans. We're examining the ways this backlash is showing up in our policies, our culture—even the social media content we scroll past every day. And we're asking what becomes possible when we imagine a future beyond the gender binary.<hr> Hosted on Acast.
