THE SIMPSONS Deep Dive 3: Lisa is Our Hero

Today is all about the girl, the myth, the legend, Lisa Simpson! Whether you're struggling with those mid-week blues or feel energized enough to write an essay about the biggest issues facing our world, we hope you enjoy our discussion about these two fantastic Lisa-focused episodes, “Moaning Lisa" (Season 1, Episode 6) and “Mr. Lisa Goes To Washington” (season 3, episode 2). We discuss the pressures women and girls feel to take Aaron Burr's advice and "smile more," as well as the important differences between Marge's parenting and her mother's approach. Also...Homer is a fan of "Reading Digest"? History Highlights: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julia_Ward_Howe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harriet_Beecher_Stowe
