In Walks a Woman offers a thought-provoking exploration of how stories, from classic literature to modern pop culture, shape our understanding of reality, particularly from a woman's perspective. Hosted by experienced teachers of history and literature, Sonja and Vanessa, the podcast delves into critical discussions spanning feminism, anthropology, and societal narratives. Episodes feature insightful interviews with figures like comedian Lynn Harris, examining women's roles in comedy and challenging traditional gatekeeping, alongside deep literary analyses, such as Shirley Jackson's "The Haunting of Hill House," viewed through a feminist and historical lens. The show distinguishes itself by its academic yet accessible approach, inviting listeners to critically engage with the stories that define us and consider how to reshape those that cause harm. It appeals to intellectually curious individuals interested in the intersection of culture, history, and gender studies.
