Mediocre Women Doing Great Things

Dr. Rocío Rødtjer, author, historian, and lover of Keanu Reeves joins me to discuss feminism from a historical perspective. Her recent book, Women and Nationhood in Restoration Spain 1874-1931, explores the role of women in the state as society transitions from monarchy to democracy. We talk about how this connects to today and discuss a listener question about ethics and perspective in storytelling.
