For women to be free, they must be free to be women.

The Gloria Purvis Podcast

The struggle for women's rights has been long and hard fought. The goal was freedom. But what does freedom mean and how has it changed from the time of the 19th century feminists through various women's movements? Lawyer and author Erika Bachiochi joins Gloria to clarify concepts and shine a light on the early feminists who fought for more than an abstract, autonomous individualism–a notion created by men. From voting to sex, women can only be free when they are free to be women. Support Gloria's podcast by getting a digital subscription to America today!

About Podcast

Too many voices are not being heard in the Catholic Church today. "The Gloria Purvis Podcast" is a new podcast from America Media hosted by radio personality and Catholic commentator, Gloria Purvis. The podcast centers the opinions, stories and experiences of individuals who have been marginalized in the Catholic Church and in society. A consistent ethic of life informs the conversations and honestly critiques narrow applications of Catholic teachings and ideological attitudes. It's not liberal, it's not conservative. It's all about fostering a culture of charitable dialogue around the most complex and contentious issues in the Catholic Church today. It's just Catholic. Episodes will release weekly.
