Amy is joined by guest Lucy Allebest to discuss an “Open Letter to the Women of the World” and the “Universal Declaration of Human Rights” by Eleanor Roosevelt. Topics include women in World War II, equality from a global perspective, and the primacy of men in language.

Lucy Allebest is a high school senior who plans to study History in college next year, either at the University of Saint Andrews in Scotland or Trinity College in Dublin (she can’t decide!). Aspiring to be as Celtic as possible, she studies Gaeilge and reads about her Scottish ancestry in her free time, and her senior thesis is on the extinction of the Irish language as a result of British colonial suppression. she loves organizing, writing, marveling at California poppies, and singing loudly while driving.
