  1. In Memoriam - Sally Roesch Wagner - Sisters In Spirit: Suffragists and Native American Women

    JUL 28

    In Memoriam - Sally Roesch Wagner - Sisters In Spirit: Suffragists and Native American Women

    Our final episode of the season is an encore presentation, in memoriam, of the first episode of the season-- Sally Roesch Wagner and the Suffragists-Native American connection.   Sally Roesch Wagner passed on June 11 at the age of 82.  She was an historian of women's history and the Women's Suffrage Movement, an author and an educator. She was the founding director of the Matilda Joslyn Gage Foundation and Social Justice Dialogue Center which honored the accomplishments of pioneering suffragist, Matilda Joslyn Gage. *****In this episode:  The Iroquois, alternatively referred to by the endonym Haudenosaunee, are a confederacy of Native Americans and First Nations peoples in northeast North America.  Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Matilda Joslyn Gage, and Lucretia Mott had formed friendships with Haudenosaunee women that enabled them to see the real possibility of creating a very different structure for their American culture, a matriarchal one, like the one that their Haudenosaunee sisters had experienced for generations.  We talk to Sally Roesch Wagner about this amazing story and how she discovered this overlooked pieced of American feminist herstory. Sean Marlon Newcombe and Dawn "Sam" Alden co-host.

  5. Tár - Cinema Reviewed From A Matriarchal Lens

    MAY 19

    Tár - Cinema Reviewed From A Matriarchal Lens

    Marvelously acted, written and director, the film Tár was a critical darling.  But this will not be a film review, but rather an appraisal of how Hollywood handles strong women in leading roles.  We will examine the movie from different perspectives--feminist, cultural, personal-- and give our own take on what this kind of movie says about how strong women are handled in popular entertainment.  Sean Marlon Newcombe, Lauren Torres and Kimberly Rockwell host.

  6. Being A Bad Martha - The Female Gaze in Filmmaking

    MAY 7

    Being A Bad Martha - The Female Gaze in Filmmaking

    Kimberly Rockwell and Dawn "Sam" Alden discuss the Female Gaze - is there such a thing? How does a film camera typically "look" at a woman vs how it "looks" at a man? We've been discussing movies a lot this season, so we thought we'd zoom out (pun intended) and think about how filmmaking controls the way we perceive characters in the movies we watch.

    Max Dashu - Titanides - Encore Presentation

    Right now, the world needs goddesses, so there's no better time to give an encore presentation of our episode on the Titanides with Max Dashu! Tune in and enjoy! *****It is our pleasure, once again, to present a fascinating conversation with Max Dashu! Max Dashu has championed the various lost histories of women and championed female-centric civilizations for decades. Max Dashu founded the Suppressed Histories Archives in January of 1970 to research and document women's history on a global scale. In today's episode, we discuss chapter one of Max's new book Women In Greek Mythography.  Focused on the Titanides, the pre-Olympian goddesses, chapter one explores their original stories and the later patriarchal revisions.  Female-centric, the mythology of the Titanides explained how the universe came into being, with goddesses central to that understanding. Sean Marlon Newcombe and Dawn "Sam" Alden co-host. *****Support the MMGA podcast on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/34Circe
