THIS WEEK on Feminist Magazine with host Lynn Harris Ballen : FIRST … As we all endure the latest decisions of the Supreme Court it can feel like long ago history that Christine Blasey Ford told us about the real Brett Kavanaugh in her testimony during his confirmation hearings. And the #MeToo movement seems to have faded from memory. But Blasey Ford’s new memoir One Way Back is a powerful reminder of the price she paid for speaking out. Guardian columnist and feminist writer Moira Donegan wrote a brilliant and thoughtful review of it in BookForum & joins us to talk about it.
AND … In the mid 1990s, the Reproductive Justice movement was formed by Black and indigenous women as a response to the limitations of the “reproductive rights” movement. Amy Gastelum of Making Contact Radio talks to Dr. Alexis Pauline Gumbs, scholar and writer, about her book “Revolutionary Mothering: Love on the Frontlines”, her experience being a teenager during the formation of the Reproductive Justice Movement and what she’s reading now to inform this moment.
