Welcome to the Business Talk Podcast!

Today, we are excited to have the esteemed Dr. Marcie Bianco join us. 

A writer, editor, lecturer, and cultural critic, Dr. Bianco is currently the editor at the Stanford Social Innovation Review (SSIR), where she co-edits and coproduces the quarterly print magazine. In this role, she collaborates with journalists worldwide, focusing on cross-sector and philanthropic ventures, and leads initiatives on belonging, dignity, justice, and joy (BDJJ).

Dr. Bianco's impactful feminist and cultural criticism has been widely published, spanning from mainstream outlets like Vanity Fair and CNN to independent feminist and LGBTQ+ platforms such as DAME and The Advocate. We're excited to dive into her insights and explore her unique perspectives on culture, gender, and social justice.

In this episode, Dr. Bianco will explore the themes of her widely recognized book, ‘Breaking Free: The Lie of Equality and the Feminist Fight for Freedom.’

Dr. Marcie Bianco explores the struggles women have faced for over a century in her book Breaking Free: The Lie of Equality and the Feminist Fight for Freedom. Despite battles for equality, Bianco argues that the concept itself is a fallacy that fails to address historical discrimination and oppression. Tracing the campaign for women’s suffrage through modern history, she reveals how the pursuit of equality has kept women and marginalized communities chasing an elusive goal, reinforcing limiting gender binaries and identity politics. Advocating for freedom as the true liberator of feminism, Bianco introduces three freedom practices that empower women to reclaim their bodily autonomy. In this thought-provoking work, she challenges readers to consider what liberation from the notion of equality could mean for the future of the feminist movement.
