Episode 5: Are We Watering Down Feminism with Katherine Moos?

The Mother of it All

Nov 27, 2023

Katherine Moos is a professor of feminist political economy at UMASS Amherst. She has a Ph.D. in Economics from the New School for Social Research.

The Mother of it All

We are Miranda Rake and Sarah Wheeler, two friends, mothers and professional writers on the parenting beat. The Mother of it All is our place to go deep into the culture of modern motherhood and have the conversations that truly challenge, feed and excite us. Expect warmth, humor and over-considered takes on hot topics, fresh takes on old ones, expert guests and good times. We're diving into the grey areas beyond the tropes — the wine moms, the rage moms, the anything moms — and instead spending real time with the ideas that help us grow as mothers and people in this cultural moment.
