Podcast: In Walks a WomanPublished On: Fri Jun 19 2026
Description: Have you read CASSANDRA SPEAKS? If not, run to your local bookstore and get a copy! It will change how you see the worlIn this interview with Elizabeth Lesser, we focus on the Eve story: what it actually says, what stories have grown out of it, and why. Beyond Eve, we discuss what impact it's had on the history of the world when about half the population–women–have been cut out of the storytelling. Can we really reflect humanity as a whole when only half of humanity gets to speak and be heard? Lesser’s research will enrich you and surprise you. For example, we think of the fight-or-flight response as a fundamentally “human” response. But is it? The first study that introduced that concept used only men as test subjects. What did scientists find when they studied women? This episode is about Eve, but CASSANDRA SPEAKS is one of the books that inspired the podcast, so we really hope you join us!EXPORE FURTHER:Elizabeth Lesser’s TED TALKS: Say Your Truths and Seek Them in Others Take "the Other" to LunchCheck out Elizabeth Lesser’s Omega Institute for Holistic Studies
