The ladies reply to listener comments about The Dance of Anger: A Woman’s Guide to Changing the Patterns of Intimate Relationships by Harriet Lerner. Plus, Kristen and Jolenta talk to Trysh Travis, cultural historian in the Center for Women’s Studies at the University of Florida. Trysh puts the book into historical context and breaks down how this book sits within the feminist and psychology movements of the 1980s.

Kristen and Jolenta's new book How to be Fine is currently available for pre-order.

Come out to their book launch party, at The Strand bookstore in New York City on Friday, March 20 at 7 pm. Get tickets on The Strand website here.
