Ep 35 - The Feminist Movement with Annie Keown

This week on the podcast we have the amazing Annie Keown, not only Esther's sister but an expert in Social Justice. Annie is a passionate feminist who is studying towards her PhD in gender studies. Her honours paper looked into the genocide of indigenous women in Canada and the US and delved into New Zealand’s history to see if these same atrocities happened in New Zealand to indigenous Maori women.

Annie is extremely knowledgeable in the history of the feminist movement and during this conversation we picked her brains to better understand the history of oppression against women and where we are today.
