The Brook Reading Podcast

Episode 89 is the third episode of a many-headed beast that, hopefully, everyone enjoys and learns from. I explore multiple pieces of media stemming from the tumultuous period of American History, the 1960s and 70s. I introduce to you the series entitled, “Important Women Who Did Important Stuff”!

Tonight, I will cover the biography of Shirley Chisholm, episode 3 of Mrs. America on Hulu, and chapters 3 - 6 of The Feminine Mystique. Tonight’s episode will also include a discussion on the recent tragedies of the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and so many more, as well as the current #BlackLivesMatter movement. We try to answer the question, “What can we do?”, and continue the honest and open discussions that these terrible tragedies have brought to the forefront.
