189. The Future of Feminism

Kate and Betsy dive into the topic of feminism after an article came out in the New York Times in November 2025 entitled “Are women ruining the workplace?”.  In this episode we seek to understand the real meaning of feminism, the different waves it has gone through, and what the wild woman archetype says about these times. In today’s Episode we discuss: The fire that Kate felt after reading this article, and why we’ve gotten to a point where feminism has become a bad word. The actual definition of feminism, and the history of the feminist movement through 4 different waves. Wisdom from Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes in “Women Who Run with the Wolves” about feminism.
