Girl Bosses & Trad Wives: Feminism In Her Flop Era
To kick off Women's History Month, the Bees discuss our views on the history and current state of feminism. We share our perspectives on trending online discussions and how that may be impacting women's views on feminism.
(This conversation was centered around cishet women and heteronormative relationships, as that is the limited pool of experience from which we draw, and we acknowledge that there is much more to be said on queer women's experiences).

Customer Reviews
The continent meets diaspora
I have enjoyed listening to the nostalgic conversations, the featured guests, and the real talk; from culture to well-being to entrepreneurship and so much more. The Bees have entertained & enlightened this man at the same time. I recommend!!!
Love it!!
I’ve never found a podcast I related to as much as this. I can’t get enough of the laughs and lots of confirmation that ‘its just not me and my experiences’ as an African immigrant girl. Thank you two bees in a pod 😊😊.
So Relatable & Super Exciting!
Listening to the two bees on my drive has been fairly entertaining yet so relatable. I found myself nodding, laughing, empathizing while listening to this podcast. Keep it coming!
