Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
It’s the “f” word you don’t hear as much anymore — feminism. But issues that confronted women thirty years ago remain as pressing as ever, whether it’s reproductive rights, equal pay or the challenges of balancing childcare and work. We assess how feminism is responding to those challenges, and how attitudes differ among generations of women.
