Bestselling authors Deborah Copaken and New Yorker staff writer Tad Friend (also Copaken’s actual friend!) graced Greenlight’s virtual stage for the launch of Copaken’s new memoir, Ladyparts. An inventory of both the female body and the body politic of womanhood in America, Ladyparts moves body part by body part and confronts divorce, single motherhood, the steep price of childcare, shady landlords, the death of Copaken’s father, sexism, ageism, and moore. In a frank and personal conversation, Copaken unraveled the challenges of being a woman in America—and specifically, in the American healthcare system. (Recorded August 2, 2021)
