White Feminism with Koa Beck
Today I am speaking with Koa Beck, author and journalist. Koa Beck is the author of the acclaimed nonfiction book “White Feminism: From the Suffragettes to Influencers and Who They Leave Behind.” She is a recipient of both the Alan Jutzi Fellowship at The Huntington and the Joan Shorenstein Fellowship at the Harvard Kennedy School. She lives in Los Angeles with her wife and foster children. Most recently, her essay titled Nanny of the State was published in the Massachusetts review where she details how gender mythology dictates who gets deemed a good mother on the state level and how children are routinely and legally taken from their families to be placed in homes like hers.
