Reclaiming a Lost Vision of Feminism: A Conversation with Erika Bachiochi

Subscribe to Madison’s NotesSubscribe

The overturning of Roe v. Wade has led to a flurry of commentary, and wondering, "Where next?" But, it also begs deeper questions: what is the history of abortion and sex-positivity within the feminist movement, and how did Roe affect our views on sex? Feminist legal scholar Dr. Erika Bachiochi is the founder and director of the Wollstonecraft Project at the Abigail Adams Institute and a fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center. Here, she discusses these questions as well as her recent book on Mary Wollstonecraft, The Rights of Women: Reclaiming a Lost Vision.
