Herstory’s Merstories w. Alexis Coe

Erin Ryan and Alyssa Mastromonaco share direct actions you can do to help the Ukrainian people now (see below), discuss the most memorable moment of Joe Biden’s State of the Union address, and celebrate Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s nomination to the Supreme Court. Plus, Presidential Historian Alexis Coe joins to talk about how the male gaze has distorted our perception of history and the often manufactured nature of Women’s History Month. Then, Kiran Deol and Dana Schwartz talk about the Love is Blind finale and the privilege of choosing yourself. Finally, a much needed Sanity Corner.
