Geena Davis became a breakout star in Hollywood, with an Oscar
under her belt and starring roles in hit films like “A League of
Their Own” and “Thelma & Louise.” Yet even all that success
didn’t always protect her from feeling small in Hollywood. In this
episode, we visit her memoir, “Dying of Politeness,” and Davis
opens up about moments in her life and career when she felt too
polite to speak up. Decades later, many of these moments remain
raw. Before and after the episode, Kara and Nayeema reflect on
their own personal experiences, talk about the tax that women pay
and discuss how Hollywood, Silicon Valley and other powerful
industries have changed — and how they haven’t. You can find
