The "Bra Burner" Myth Is Born (1969) w/ Cristen Conger
Manage episode 438756919 series 2642812
Come to our first ever live show! In Boston, on Friday, September 13th. Tickets are available now!
It's September 8th. This day in 1969, a group called "New York Radical Women" holds a protest at the Miss America Pageant in Atlantic City, New Jersey. In the wake of the protest, a very persistent story emerged, despite no evidence to support it: that women burned their bras in protest.
Jody, Niki, and Kellie are joined by Cristen Conger of "Unladylike" to talk about the protest, how the bra burning myth was born -- and why the idea of the "bra-burner" feminist has stuck around to this day.
Be sure to check out "Unladlike" and Cristen's new show "Conspiracy She Wrote" wherever you get your podcasts!
