    Episode 5: The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood

    In this episode, we will be diving into some sensitive subjects in Atwood's near-future dystopia of an oppressive patriarchal society. Now an acclaimed Hulu original show, this novel rings true throughout all of history to the past and current struggles that women face in being able to control their lives under a traditionally patriarchal society. This book dives into a future that looks more like the past, with the hope that our present will look less like the past. Enjoy!  For more information on the podcast please visit chalicepodcast.com.

    Episode 3: The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton

    This week on Chalice we will be discussing an antique and not-quite-as-compelling version of Austen. Kidding.

    This episode on Chalice, Alice and I will be talking about a classic novel known in the academic sphere as part of the 18th-century seduction genre, an instruction manual to young women at the time to not fall for those f*ckboys. We feel you, Rowson.  Join us in this discussion of crossing ponds, getting preggo, and dramatized sword-fights.  If you enjoy books and this podcast about books,  you'll love tuning into our Goodreads group.
