Every Woman’s Right

What exactly are rights? In June 2022, s Supreme Court decision led to a broader examination of rights through a female lens.

Whether it’s legally using birth control as a married woman (1965), filing for divorce (1969), running the Boston Marathon (1972), legally using birth control as a single woman (1972), sexual harassment as a form of job discrimination (1986), owning a business without a male co-signer (1988), or same-sex marriage (2015), the codification of these rights changed a woman’s sense of agency.

Wanting to know how women feel in 2022, we asked women to describe how their lived have been shaped by the ways our culture offers and defines rights. The project was provided free of charge and aired on 91.9 WUOTFM during late summer and fall of the same year.

On this page you can watch the trailer, hear the interviews that aired on 91.9 WUOTFM, and watch a brief video version of each interview.
