Women’s bodies are not battlefields. This week host Martha Chaves is talking to Mexican feminist activist and executive director of Balance, Oriana López Uribe, and American writer, activist and host of the “Unscrewed” podcast, Jaclyn Friedman, about #MeToo, reproductive rights, and putting a middle finger up to patriarchy. When feminists rule the world – they will also rule their bodies.
