Summary

Danielle fully realizes what a privilege it is to be able to sit down with her mom, Linda, and discuss eight decades of her life! And right now, we need to learn from the wisdom and experiences of older women more than ever! In this episode, Danielle and her mom discuss:

Linda's childhood: growing up in Trenton, NJ. Which inventions/advancements she most remembers
Polio and the vaccine
Whether or not there was ever a thought that a woman could choose not to get married and have kids
How she raised three activists
Did she and her husband ever disagree about politics
How worried is she about the state of our democracy
The rise in vaccine skepticism, intolerance of immigrants, and the attack on women and other marginalized groups
AND SO MUCH MORE!
