Listen Later

Some voices have shaped history by speaking truth to power and fighting for equality. In this episode, we’re joined by two extraordinary women whose lifelong activism has touched lives around the world. Gloria Steinem, pioneering feminist organizer, writer, and advocate, and Leymah Gbowee, Nobel Peace Prize-winning peace activist and women’s rights leader from Liberia, discuss their powerful collaboration. Together, they co-wrote RISE, GIRL, RISE: Our Sister-Friend Journey. Together for All, a beautifully illustrated picture book that shares their stories of courage, sisterhood, and activism with young readers. From vastly different backgrounds but united by a shared commitment to justice, Gloria and Leymah explore the unifying power of sisterhood, the importance of speaking out, and what it means to inspire the next generation to rise for equality and change.
