The Story of Woman podcast

The Story of Woman

Exploring our world through the female gaze, The Story of Woman podcast dives into everything from the economy and healthcare to politics, sexuality, climate justice, and beyond. Each episode dives deep into where we are today, how we got here, and what still needs to change to finally rewrite the story of mankind as the story of humankind. While earlier episodes focused on one-on-one interviews with diverse voices and perspectives, the podcast is now specializing in deep, immersive, narrative-driven investigations into the lived realities of women and marginalized genders. These stories bring listeners face-to-face with individuals who are confronting gender inequality head-on—championing transformative solutions in their communities and across the globe. To us, ‘woman’ means all those who presently identify as such - regardless of which body they were born with. This includes other marginalized genders such as those who identify as non-binary, gender fluid, or anywhere else on the spectrum of gender.
