Amelia Hruby: On Fifty Feminist States, road trips & womanhood, and reconsidering the feminine

On this episode, Alexandra speaks with Amelia Hruby, PhD., who is a Feminist writer, educator, and the host and creator of the podcast Fifty Feminist States. She is also the author of the republished book Fifty Feminist Mantras. She shares about her love of traveling and unpacks the privilege she has traveling as a white woman in America. They talk about her journey of creating the podcast, the feminist activists she highlights (especially in rural parts of America), the importance of continuing to be curious, and why educating yourself on matters of race, class, and gender (to name a few) can be fun. Amelia also talks about the way she reconsiders the feminine after doing all of this work, how Instagram posts and a crowdfunding project for her podcast led to a book deal, and she shares some sad yet celebratory news about her podcast.
