The Big Bang of Feminism with Jessica Hopper
Legendary music journalist Jessica Hopper joins Mary to unpack the cultural shift that was Lilith Fair and why it still matters. They dig into Jessica’s journey through music journalism, the making of the Lilith Fair documentary, and how a festival led by women somehow became radical just by existing. It’s a love letter to community, a reality check on progress, and a reminder that women in music have always been the movement, whether the industry was ready or not.
You can watch “Lilith Fair: Building a Mystery” on Hulu.
