Third-Wave Feminism & the 90s Riot Grrrl Punk Movement with Eleanor C. Whitney, Author of "Riot Woman"

Private Parts Unknown: Sex & Love Around the World

For the 187th episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes Eleanor C. Whitney, author of Riot Woman.

We’re diving into the evolution of feminism with Eleanor C. Whitney. Eleanor takes us on a journey from the suffragettes to the third-wave feminists of the 90s Riot Grrrl punk movement, where she discovered her voice as a writer and musician. We discuss how this shaped her relationships, sexuality, and ideas of community, as well as the emergence of fourth-wave feminism and what it might look like moving forward.
