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
The one where women ignore the rules and act for the greater good (again) - Exodus
If you've ever wondered why women are terrified of being seen as selfish or why others judge women by how much they do for other people, you need not look any further than everyone's favorite two thousand year old book.
“We are so accustomed to the assumption that men alone form a nation, that we forget to resent texts such as these.” - Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Oh we won't forget Elizabeth. Especially not after reading the chapter in The Woman's Bible on Exodus . This one has it all -- birth, Pharaoh bullies, thievery, violence, circumcision, escape, laws, and even a mention of the Boston Tea Party.
Grab a cuppa and give a listen.
