Biting All The Apples
Biting All The Apples is an unhinged bookclub-ish conversation that channels the sassy wisdom of long dead victorian feminists to analyze the puritanical influences still messing with our world today. We start off with the 1895 best seller "The Woman's Bible" by Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Each week we cover their 19th century feminist analysis of a book in the bible and ponder, laugh, and cry over the similarities to the issues of today.
This is a great listen for anyone interested in the patriarchal influence in religion, politics, and social order. As well as anyone that is GenX or any generation, anyone that likes comedy, books, history, and thinkin.
Biting All The Apples
A bible, you say? Hear us out.
It's our intro episode! The one where we tell you why you should be jazzed about revisiting Elizabeth Cady Stanton's The Woman's Bible with us. Even if you aren't particularly religious, your life is still impacted by the morality and hierarchy dictated in the Bible. 130 years ago, Stanton and some of her scholarly friends took a look at how the gentleman who translated the bible may have taken a few liberties.
Join us - Sara Kaye and Joanna, two reunited childhood friends who are curious about all the fuss - as we break down, admire, and yeah, ok, sometimes muck up a piece of classic feminist literature that has eerie relevance today.
