This is a book club episode. In it, Travis and Amanda will discuss and analyze the second half of You Can’t Keep a Good Woman Down by Alice Walker. You should expect full “spoilers,” discussions of rhetorical elements, and celebrations / critiques of style and substance.
From the cover: “A natural evolution from the earlier, much-acclaimed short-story collection IN LOVE & TROUBLE, these fourteen provocative and often humorous stories show women oppressed but not defeated. No longer do they excuse the aggression of others; no longer are they suspended in their unhappy condition. The women here claim every bit of space they make. These are modern stories: about love, lust, fame, and cultural thievery; the perils of pornography, abortion, and rape; the delight of new lovers; and the discovery of old friends, affirmed even across self-imposed color lines.”
