Join me as I dive into another listener request!
This week's topic comes thanks to long time listener Sam, who requested I dive into the history of the California Missions.
Those of us who grew up in California likely remember learning about, and potentially even visiting, the Missions spread throughout the state. But what prompted their creation? Who lived in the Missions? And why do they continue to loom so large in California history?

Gendered Citizenship with Dr. Rebecca DeWolf
April 9, 2022
•42m
Join me this week as I chat with author, historian and educator Dr. Rebecca DeWolf about her analysis of the early development of the Equal Rights Amendment.
Dr. DeWolf wrote about the fight of the ERA in her book, Gendered Citizenship, which was one of my favorite books of 2021. In this episode, we discuss how the right to vote for women via the 19th amendment created a sense of constitutional uncertainty for the status of women and how various groups, coined as protectionists and emancipationists, debated over what it meant to provide women equality under the law.
