Sheela Na Gig Podcast

If you're like me, everyday, you meet new and interesting people and if you're like me, you may ask a lot of questions about their lives. My husband, in fact, has nicknamed me "Studs", after writer and oral historian, Studs Terkle. I take it as a huge compliment,  as I love delving into people's stories and hearing tales of how their lives and the world has shaped them. But some of these tales are harrowing and beyond anything I've heard before, which brings me to our new Sheela Na Gig episodes, called "Everyday Sheelas". You may never know by looking at these people, what they've been through, but their stories need to be told and these everyday women, in our case, need to be celebrated!
 
Which brings us to our 1st Everyday Sheela, meet Angelina. Her story exemplifies strength and tenacity and an innate desire to care for others, beyond herself. She's truly a survivor whose story needs to be shared.
 
We are truly honored to interview Angelina, as our 1st " Everyday Sheela" and hope you will tune in!
 
We also welcome your comments,  questions and your stories too! Are you an "Everyday Sheela" or do you know someone who is? Please let us know! These stories need to be told!

As controversy swells over the accuracy of Belle Burden’s breakout memoir STRANGERS, April brings Missy into a discussion about the risks people take when they “put themselves out there.” This episode explores how messages can get diluted when issues of privilege color what was for many, a highly relatable and empowering piece of writing.

In today’s episode April explores writer, American progressive activist and feminist Marge Piercy. An extremely prolific writer, Piercy has published close to 20 books of poetry and close to 20 novels. Her novels generally address larger social concerns through sharply observed characters and brisk plot lines. Though generally focused on issues such as class or culture, and usually written from a feminist position, Piercy’s novels have taken on a variety of guises, including historical fiction and science or speculative fiction. She’s quite a Sheela!
 
“Marge Piercy is not just an author, she’s a cultural touchstone. Few writers in modern memory have sustained her passion, and skill, for creating stories of consequence.”
— The Boston Globe

Shere Hite’s groundbreaking 1976 book, ‘The Hite Report,’ spun ‘a revolution in the bedroom.’ While she sold tens of millions of copies of her book and is credited with giving women the right to enjoy their own bodies, unrelenting criticism of her work drove her to self-exile in Europe.

"We women were especially drawn to electronic music when the possibility of a woman composing was in itself controversial. Electronics let us make music that could be heard by others without having to be taken seriously by the male dominated establishment."
