Happy International Women’s Day to those of us who work in the public sphere–looking at you, #girlboss! If you’re a full time householder, mother or #tradwife, you’ll apparently have to wait your turn until May when Mother’s Day rolls around. Join Kathryn and Erin for a provocative riff on this year’s theme, “inclusion,” and why they think some feminists have taken this idea too far. www.thehearthmatters.com

Erika Bachiochi is a legal scholar and fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center and a senior fellow at the Abigail Adams Institute in Cambridge, MA, where she founded and directs the Wollstonecraft Project. In this episode, we discuss her latest book, The Rights of Women: Reclaiming a Lost Vision (Notre Dame Press), which looks at the philosophy of 18th century feminist Mary Wollstonecraft and why her ideas are so relevant for women today. We also talk about “Pursuing the Reunification of Home and Work,” an essay Erika published in American Compass, and practical ways to integrate career with family life in the 21st century.

Join us in candid and thought-provoking discussions about the significance of home life and its connection to human flourishing. In our inaugural podcast, we share our origin story and our “why” for starting the Hearth Matters nonprofit. We discuss our initiatives that aim to reunify work and home, and why improving the social and economic status of mothers and householders improves all of our lives. In future episodes, we’ll be interviewing some of the best thinkers in the world as well as ordinary people, who, like us, are rethinking, revaluing and reinventing home and hearth. We’re so happy you’re here!
