An empowerment book for women and girls shouldn't have to include how to survive sexual assault, domestic violence, and being drugged. But in a society that protects the Epstein class and the Cornell 7, it's an infuriating necessity.
In this week's bonus episode, Andrea shares a sobering reading from her upcoming book, A Reasonable Guide for Unreasonable Women. Alongside chapters on fundraising, marketing, and finding your creative power and voice, she had to write a chapter that should not have to exist: resources for survivors. It's an urgent call-to-action that we must stop excusing predatory behavior as "boys will be boys."
This week's bonus show, available in full for our communities on Patreon and Substack that power Gaslit Nation, we get a deep dive on the exciting new leadership of British Prime Minister Andy Burnham, American elections to watch, Russia's tentacles in the Trump regime, and more. Thank you to everyone who makes Gaslit Nation possible – we could not make this show without you!
