The Waves: In Defense of Lean In Feminism

On this week’s episode of The Waves, why can’t the feminists all
get along? Slate senior producer Cheyna Roth is joined by Danielle
Kurtzleben, NPR political correspondent and author of the Substack,
This F**king Job. They dig into what went wrong with Sheryl
Sandberg’s book Lean In, why it wasn’t all completely wrong, and
how to stop giving anti-feminists the ammo they need to
attack.    In Slate Plus: We’re talking May
