Episode 157: More Than Power Poses
/“You hear this word empowerment associated with the kind of Lean In style of feminism...This idea that if we could just be a little more assertive, if we would stand up for ourselves, then we would be paid equally, we would reach positions of power.”
In this show I’m handing you over to Lauren Schiller, host of Inflection Point, for a summer swap episode. Some of you are already Inflection Point fans but if you don’t know it, there is lots to discover. Lauren created the show and has been hosting it for five years now. She has talked to a fabulous array of guests.
She produced this episode on the difference between ‘empowerment’ and actual power with writer Ruth Whippman in 2018, and I wanted to air it because it’s thought provoking, funny and smart (would I offer you anything less?) I also share Ruth’s outsider view of life in the U.S.
You can access a transcript of the show on the original episode page.
