Second-Wave Feminism: Germany, Chornobyl, & the Wave Metaphor ft. Charlotte Oakes

Hot Girl Historian Charlotte Oakes joins Claire to discuss second-wave feminist movements in East and West Germany, Chornobyl's impact on the evolution of eco-feminism, real-existing socialism for women, mummy politics, and the double burden of women in East Germany during Soviet times. We also discuss the complications of the wave metaphor being used to refer to feminist movements, universal womanhood, global feminisms, and how every day is a school day when it comes to learning feminist histories!!!

But first, we learn a bit about Charlotte who is currently completing her MLitt in Modern History at the University of St Andrews and will soon begin her PhD in Women's Studies at the University of York.
