    Want an Equal Marriage? Get a Divorce.

    According to Lyz Lenz, in America, marriage is "a relationship made unequal not by accident, but as a function of a society that relies on inequality to fill in the gaps that it refuses to fund--childcare, eldercare." In this episode, Stephanie and Lois discuss the newly-released, powerfully candid book, "This American Ex-Wife," emphasizing its instant resonance not just with them and this show, but with women everywhere. (Within one week of its release, it made the NY Times top-10 best-seller list.)
