The Tradwife Era Is Over. So Why Are We Still Obsessed?
About this episode
Why are smart, progressive, left-voting women are still watching tradwife content? Even after the trend has peaked?
Author Claire Swinarski has also written a tradwife novel entitled The Supper Club Saints. Today we're chatting about how Yesteryear became such a phenomenon and whether the book's success is really about giving women a socially acceptable place to put their rage. We also get into why the girlboss-versus-tradwife binary is failing everybody.
Claire's new novel is The Supper Club Saints. Find her at claireswinarski.com.
