About this episode

Anya Shakh explores the impact of the Industrial Revolution on the bond between men and women, discussing historical dynamics and future implications.

In this episode I explore what really happened to men and women when work first left the home. The effects of the Industrial Revolution on the bond between men and women is something that is not spoken about often. In the name of productivity, progress, and consumption - we have traded many things most of all meaning. Listen in as I highlight some pieces of history that are important in putting together the puzzle of male and female dynamics. Learn about why the temperance movement started, what first separated men and women, why male vices grew in the nineteenth century, and much more. Perhaps this is all a transition to a more beautiful and whole future state? What do you think? That is something I’ll explore in the next episode.
