 Speak to Me Presents Debora Spar
Wonder Women: Sex, Power and the Quest for Perfection
The feminist movement was successful in persuading society that in fact we as women can do and be anything that a man can. It created a new reality where we can do it "all!" But can we really? And more importantly, should we even try? Join Speak To Me for Debora Spar - author of Wonder Women: Sex, Power & the Quest for Perfection and the President of Barnard College - for a look at how feminism has morphed into what she calls the "Wonder Women" complex: a set of expanded and in many ways more cumbersome expectations that just might be unrealistic to obtain.
