Show Notes

This week, author and historian Dr. Kate Lister joins Jann, Caitlin & Sarah to discuss feminist history and the often overlooked narratives surrounding women's sexuality and pleasure. The discussion delves into the societal constructs of virginity, the importance of communication in sexual relationships, and the challenges women face in advocating for their own pleasure. Together, the conversation highlights the need for a shift in understanding women's sexual experiences and the importance of dismantling harmful myths surrounding female sexuality. They also touch on the idea of marriage for economic necessity and the modern implications of sex work, particularly in the context of modern platforms like OnlyFans.
