In the season premiere of “Prologued,” we confront the myth of the women’s voting bloc in the aftermath of the 2016 US presidential election and during the 2020 election cycle. Then, to truly understand the truth of the women’s bloc, we take you back — all the way back to the American Revolution — and learn that women in America have never been completely united.
Today’s esteemed guests include Dr. Joan Flores-Villalobos from the University of Southern California (formerly of The Ohio State University), Dr. Daniel Rivers from the Ohio State University, and Dr. Lilia Fernandez from Rutgers University.
Prologued
“Prologued” is a serial podcast from Origins: Current Events in Historical Perspective. With amazing stories and remarkable guests, “Prologued” offers in-depth discussions of the historical roots of the world today — a past that has often been lost, ignored or misconstrued. Each season, we reconstruct the history of a major issue that confronts society now: to explain how we got here and to reveal a path forward.
