About this episode

For this episode of the Ordinary Equality x Womanica crossover season, we're going back to the heat of the suffrage movement to learn about one of the Equal Rights Amendment's creators and lifelong advocates. A lawyer, writer and activist, she was known by some as "the most dangerous woman in the world."

Join host Kate Kelly and Dr. Amy Aronson, author of "Crystal Eastman: A Revolutionary Life," as they take us through the story of Crystal Eastman (1881-1928).
