S4: E17 - Because She Was a Girl: On the Experiences of Women in the Church with Megan Kenyon
When Megan Kenyon’s niece was born it propelled her on a journey of exploring the messages she received from the church about being a woman, culminating in an art showcase featuring the church experiences of 22 women across generations and denominations. The findings were remarkable (but probably not surprising).
