YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

For nine consecutive Sunday mornings, we look back 50 years to that turbulent time. Women protesting the 1968 Miss America pageant challenged not only the beauty contest but long-held assumptions about American womanhood when they hung a bed sheet inside the Atlantic City convention hall declaring "Women's Liberation." Women's rights became part of the national conversation, transforming households and workplaces across the country and society itself.

Our guests this week are:

• Debora Spar, former Barnard College president and author of "Wonder Women: Sex, Power, and the Quest for Perfection"

• Mona Charen, a syndicated columnist and senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center in Washington, D.C. She is the author of the upcoming book "Sex Matters: How Modern Feminism Lost Touch with Science, Love, and Common Sense."
