What is feminism?

This is what my friend Billy asked me one day. So I decided to talk to him about it and use feminist authors, in chronological order, to get to the bottom of it. We discuss one important feminist book or article in every episode, from the 19th century until we reach today. 

Join us on our journey. If there are any books or authors you think we’ve missed or should make sure we cover in the future, write to us on @Mansplainingf on Twitter.
