FM Aug 30, 2023: Women’s World Cup / bell hooks

THIS WEEK on Feminist Magazine with host Lynn Harris Ballen : FIRST … Just over a week ago Spain won the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup – a huge victory for the team. But the news cycle since hasn’t been celebrating the brilliant players, instead all the coverage has been about the behavior of Luis Rubiales, the president of Spain’s football federation.  Scholar and critic Jennifer Doyle joins us to talk about Rubiales, the long fight against patriarchal suppression of the women’s game and the importance of this moment.
Follow the story for updates at Jennifer’s blog.

AND … In this replay of a FemMag interview from the Archives, we hear Josie Catoggio in conversation with bell hooks about her book “Sisters of the Yam: Black Women and Self Recovery  – reflecting on the ways in which the emotional health of black women has been and continues to be impacted by sexism and racism.
