E12: E12: Feminism without socialism, free daycare, and why women work

On a new "Right Now with Stephen Kent," Stephen sits down with Elizabeth Nolan Brown and Kat Murti, the founders of Feminists for Liberty, for a discussion about libertarian feminism, parenting and motherhood, providing options to women about their lives and work environments, and why not all definitions of feminism are the same.
