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

View descriptionShare

Have the unemployment numbers for women during the pandemic been as dire as the media claims? Should we be creating more work-from-home jobs for women, or giving more choices to women about the type of work they can pursue?

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.
