Guide to a Feminist Wedding | 32

Take his name (or hers) or don't, throw bouquets or keep them forever, toss garters or never wear them: it's all up to you. 

This one is about feminist weddings, the history of weddings and Western wedding traditions, and some literary weddings you might love (or hate). 

In this episode, we each get to share some details about our own weddings and the choices we made about dresses, decor, and being “given away.” Misty gets to talk history, but promises not to stay in the Middle Ages too long, and Allegra shares some literary weddings - including, well just about every Jane Austen novel, and the pitiful story of Miss Havisham. 

Profess-Hers is a podcast written and presented by Misty, a History professor, and Allegra, an English professor, both of whom are here for having a serious, fun conversation about looking at literature, history, current events, pop culture, and media through a feminist lens.
