Summary

It's been 100 years since women gained the right to voite in New York, and over the last century, we've made major strides, but really, our struggle for complete equality is far from done. Since we launched in 2005, Refinery29 has made it its mission to be a catalyst for women to see, feel, and claim their power. And, in this special bonus episode, we sat down for a conversation with Amy Emmerich, Refinery29's Chief Content Officer, and Elisa Kreisinger aka PopCulturePirate and host of our sister podcast, "Strong Opinions Loosely Held" to mark this historic anniversary and how R29 continues to provide a safe place for women to tell and share their stories as a critical part of this Fourth Wave of feminism.

0:00.0	Welcome to Unstyled. I'm your host, Christine Barberick, co-founder and global editor-in-chief of Refinery 29.
0:08.6	Each week, I invite a notable person to come in and talk with us as we explore the funny, inspiring,
0:14.4	sometimes heartbreaking tales of life, work, and love, as told through the things that we wear.
0:32.3	One of the benefits of hosting unstyled is that I get to speak with women I've long admired,
0:35.4	oftentimes from afar, but today is a little different.
0:39.1	Today I'm speaking with two incredible women whom I've had the privilege of working closely with on a regular basis. Amy Emmerich, our chief content officer,
0:45.2	and Elisa Chrysinger, executive producer and the host creator of Refinery 29's award-winning
0:50.8	podcast, Strong Opinions Loosely Held, are two women who truly live out the
0:55.9	mission we began crafting almost 13 years ago, to be the catalyst for women to see, feel,
1:02.1	and claim their power.
1:04.0	I asked them on today because this month marks just 100 years since women gained the right
1:08.8	to vote in New York, a state which has long been at the
1:11.6	epicenter of action and women's advocacy. Seneca Falls was the site of the first women's
1:17.1	right convention organized by Elizabeth Katie Stanton in 1848, and in 1872, Susan B. Anthony went to
1:24.8	the polls in Rochester, New York, breaking the law, and voting for the president.
1:29.7	100 years after Anthony's illegal vote, Gloria Steinem launched Ms. Magazine,
1:34.8	giving voice to the growing second wave of feminism.
1:38.1	Our headquarters are based in New York, but Refinery 29's voice, reach, and purpose is global, especially when it comes to carrying on the tradition of resistance.
1:48.0	In this fourth wave of feminism, our message is louder and more powerful than ever.
1:54.0	Amy and Elisa are joining me today to talk about how, through this fourth wave, Refinery 29 is steering the potential for women's media.
2:01.6	Amy joined us a little over two years ago to help build the best team in establishing our unique voice and video,
