    Ladycast ep 38: Let's dismantle the "lone male genius" myth

    This week's guest is Liza Mundy, a senior fellow at New America and the author of this month's cover story in the Atlantic, "Why is Silicon Valley So Awful to Women?" She's also the author of several books, including "The Richer Sex: How the New Majority of Female Breadwinners is Transforming Sex, Love and Family," and the upcoming book "Code Girls: The Untold Story of the American Women Code Breakers Who Helped Win World War II." We talked about why Silicon Valley is still so tough for women, what's being done to fix it, and why we should dismantle the myth of the lone male genius.

  2. Ladycast ep 36: Meet the women who are making reading cool(er)

    Ladycast ep 36: Meet the women who are making reading cool(er)

    This week I spoke with Payton Cosell Turner and Eliza Wexelman, the rad women behind Girls At Library, the gorgeous and smart online journal dedicated to women who love literature. We debated the merits of print versus e-book, running a bicoastal business, and the importance of constantly re-educating yourself. "I feel like there are people similar to us who are interested in reading but also interested in visuals and creativity and I think just trying to create a place for other women or other readers who wanted to have a resource. It's all the things we wanted in a website."
