Dorothy Littell Greco: For the Love of Women

“I believe that God loves women. Full stop. And the ways that Jesus treated women demonstrates his love for and respect for women. And I think if systems, if governments, if work places, if churches, if marriages, if there were places that took seriously what does it mean to love women well, then I think misogyny would fall.” — Dorothy Littell Greco

Author and speaker Dorothy Littell Greco joins us on the podcast to discuss the ways we can identify and heal from the effects of misogyny in our culture.

How can we identify and heal from the destructive effects of misogyny in our culture? Author and speaker Dorothy Littell Greco joins us on the podcast to discuss her recent book For the Love of Women: Uprooting and Healing Misogyny in America. In our conversation, Dorothy unpacks the pervasive nature of misogyny, helping us to see how women are disadvantaged in ways that often simply seem normal to us. Dorothy explains that, despite undeniable progress for women over the past century, we still have a lot of ground to cover before we can heal and ultimately promote mutual flourishing for both men and women. Our discussion is expansive and instructive, and I think you’ll learn a lot. And if you listen to the end of the credits you’ll hear an excerpt from our conversation where Dorothy talks about the generous way she invites people to contribute and support her in her work.

So jump right in! We're so glad you're here.
