Reclaiming a Lost Vision for Women and Sex-Realist Feminism with Erika Bachiochi

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.
