About this episode

Sexism is baked into every aspect of our health and safety -- from how cars are tested to the way women, and especially women of color, are treated by doctors and hospitals. And the results can be deadly. 


In this week’s season finale, Chelsea sits down with writer and advocate Caroline Criado Perez and Congresswoman Lauren Underwood to discuss the mind-boggling ways sexism shapes the world around us, puts women at risk, and what we need to do to fix it.
