185. Should We Stay & Fight, Leave, or Do Nothing? with Sarah Polley
We Can Do Hard Things
Women Talking
Woman talking was based on a novel written by Marian Taves, which was inspired by real events that occurred in a Mennonite colony in rural Bolivia. The attackers used a cow anesthetic to spray it into homes to sedate the entire household before climbing through the windows. Women in this tight knit, fundamentalist, pacifist community gather in a bond and they discuss with each other how best to respond to abuse. They narrow their choices to do nothing, stay in fight or leave.
