    Description

    The image of mothers — particularly white suburban mothers — has always carried a lot of weight in American politics. But why? This season, we’re exploring the political potency of motherhood. We'll investigate how right-wing groups like Moms for Liberty are making headlines by calling for classroom restrictions on discussions of race, gender, and sexuality. Their agenda is harmful, but their methods have proven effective. And we’re investigating how progressive moms can harness the power of motherhood for justice — and the risks that come with it.This season's cover art features a photograph by Jonathan Wilkins.

    White Picket Fence interrogates the structures of inequity affecting women since America’s founding. Host Julie Kohler unpacks how white womanhood and the conception of the nuclear family were constructed and how they affect our culture, politics, and policies—in ways that hurt all of us. Join us in exploring where America—and Americans—have fallen short and what we can do to create a better future.
