Hosted by Françoise Girard, founder of FMUS (Feminism Makes Us Smarter at FMUS.org) the FMUS (“famous”) podcast is here to reset the conversation about feminism, at a time when far-right movements increasingly rely on attacking gender and sexuality as core strategies to assert power. With our fabulous guests, we unpack thorny debates and shine a light on the positive impact of feminist movements worldwide and on their brilliance, boldness and bravery. We aim to lift spirits, create connections and inspire action for transformational change. Justice, Happiness and Freedom begin here!
