Tonight on F-EMME, Sunna and Sofia discuss some of their favorite female artists, including--of course--Frida Kahlo, Jenny Saville, and Yoko Ono. Tune in to hear about some awesome women, instead of the usual male artists.

The recent high-profile divorce of Mackenzie and Jeff Bezos prompted this episode of F-EMME, about the unpaid work women do in partnerships, their contributions to their partners accomplishments, and the lack of acknowledgement and reward they receive. We also ask an important question, is it "feminist" when an woman is granted (or seeks) her ex-husbands money in a divorce?

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

And welcome back to F-EMME. On our first episode of the year, we're talking about art and culture in Gothenburg, specifically feminist art and culture. We begin the episode with and interview of Louise Thörner from September Teatern, a feminist theater group here in town (septemberteatern.se, https://www.facebook.com/Septemberteatern-994119840698830/). They have a new children's theater production premiering on January 3rd at Göteborgs Naturhistoriska Museum. Sofia has conducted an interview with three members of Göteborgs Feministika Kör (https://bit.ly/2RqCvmu), and we get to hear a taste of their work. We also mention a few other cultural events happening in Gothenburg in the next couple months, including the Gothenburg Film Festival.

Listen anytime on Micloud.

The stories of Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan, and Mary Jackson are told beautifully in the new Hollywood movie Hidden Figures, but there are so so many more women whose contributions to major scientific breakthroughs and to society as a whole have been omitted from history. This week, as a tribute to Nobel day, Sunna and Taylor discuss the exclusion of women from scientific discoveries and the huge discrepancy in the number of male and female Nobel laureates. They touch on who won Nobel prizes this year (spoiler alert: three women!), women who have won them in the past, and women who were never recognized for their work.

You can listen to this episode tonight at 9pm or anytime on Mixcloud.
