To watch this on YouTube, head to: Toward a New Feminism w/Leah Libresco Sargeant and Serena Sigillito - YouTube
Today on the show Leah and Serena join me to talk about feminism's 3rd (or 4th?) "wave," valuing women for who they are, freedom to be a woman rather than freedom from being a woman, and what pro-woman policy needs to look like.
Serena Sigillito is Editor of Public Discourse, the journal of the Witherspoon Institute in Princeton, NJ. She recently completed a Robert Novak Journalism Fellowship focusing on contemporary American women’s experiences of work and motherhood. Serena earned her BA at the University of Dallas, where she studied English and Music, and her MA in English at the Catholic University of America, where she earned awards for her writing and teaching. In addition to Public Discourse, Serena also writes for a variety of other publications, such as Newsweek, America, The American Conservative, First Things, National Review, and Verily. You can follow her work at serenasigillito.substack.com.
Leah Libresco Sargeant, who is also a Robert Novak Journalism Fellow, is a freelance writer whose work has appeared in First Things, The American Conservative, Plough, The Washington Post, and as of last week, The New York Times. She is the author of Arriving at Amen, which is the story of her conversion to Catholicism, and Building the Benedict Option. Leah earned her BA from Yale University in Political Science. You can follow Leah's new newsletter at otherfeminisms.substack.com.
