The consequences of woman's exclusion from our world are so deeply embedded that they are all but impossible to see, unless you are looking. Through interviews with authors of non-fictions books, each episode explores a different part of our world through the perspective it is missing: woman’s. From a man's world to mother nature, our world is shaped by gender. So when one half is left out, the story of humankind becomes something else entirely. By adding women back in, we will begin to understand what it means to be fully human and discover a better path forward, for all people.
