Liz Plank on Feminism and Fertility

This week on Good Influence we're talking about feminism and fertility, the social secrecy around fertility, how to balance assumptions with information on the positive impact of choice for everyone. Liz Plank is an author, journalist, filmmaker and podcaster with a master's degree in gender. Liz wrote bestselling book 'For The Love of Men' about the role of masculinity and how the patriarchy causes harm. She recently released a series called 'Race to 35' for Dax Shepard's 'Armchair Expert' podcast, in which she and co-host Monica Padman documented the experience of freezing their eggs as they both turned 35.
