Synopsis

This program offers an immersive audio experience, fully sound designed to enhance your enjoyment of Stuff Mom Never Told You. Listen out for the excited crowd of the Riggs vs King Battle of the Sexes tennis match and a cast of character's experiences through major feminist movements. Sit back and delight in the incredible audiobook experience that is Stuff Mom Never Told You. The program is read by the authors and Eunice Wong.

The concept of feminism has evolved and changed so much over the last few decades that it can be confusing for people to keep up. Luckily, Anney Reese and Samantha McVey break it all down every week on their popular iHeart podcast, Stuff Mom Never Told You.

In this audiobook—their first—they explore the history, strategy, and emotion that went into several milestones and emergent issues of the recent feminist movement. Starting with Billie Jean King’s famous “Battle of the Sexes” tennis match, they also talk about the Civil Rights movement and the women who helped shape it; the disturbing prevalence of major backlogs in rape kit testing; how LGBTQ rights and women’s rights intersect; and how women have been critical to the advancement of disability rights, and more.

Written with a sharp tongue, an infectious curiosity, and a deeply empathetic voice, Reese and McVey show the true breadth of what feminism can stand for, what it can achieve, and whom it can help lift up.

A Macmillan Audio production from Flatiron Books.

I aim always to inhabit characters, emotions, and journeys honestly, spontaneously, and with psychological depth, while staying true to the book's unique voice. My narration styles range from intimate and intuitive, channeling emotions from beneath the surface of the text, to wacky and comic, with distinct and laugh-out-loud character creations.EuniceWong.actor

Format Read:Audio from NetGalley (out now) Review: The start of this was so dull and slow and I was not sure I was going to continue. Then it became way better.

DNF. It feels odd writing this after lauding another book a few hours ago for its superb sound effects and sound engineering... I couldn't stand to listen to this audio book due to the sound effects and sound audios. For me, it came across as fake or too dramatized; which may be the purpose? IDK. I co......more

Goodreads review by Elaine on August 19, 2023

So let me start by saying that I’ve never listened to the authors’ podcasts… And after reading (listening to) this, I will not be looking for them. A very different view on feminism and women’s rights… Although I did learn a few things from the book, it was not worth the time it took to listen…IMO. Yo......more

Goodreads review by Bri on September 07, 2023

I was ready to give this a very low score and almost called it quits. The first 30 something minutes of the audiobook is just the authors apologizing for the potential for failure and such. Which might go over better on a podcast where they are addressing a previous issue, but it was a very strange......more
