This week the sisters talk about the overlap of two seemingly different things: The Nightingale, a novel by Kirstin Hannah and the art of the Guerrilla Girls, an anonymous group of feminist activist artists producing projects since the mid- 1980s. Sisterhood and feminine power are inevitable topics in this episode – so watch out!
