“‘Yesteryear’ shines another light on the Trad Wife culture war”
About this episode
The episode discusses the novel 'Yesteryear' and its commentary on Trad Wife culture through the lens of a modern influencer transported to the past.
The new novel ‘Yesteryear’ imagines what would happen if a modern-day trad wife influencer woke up in 1855, forced to actually live in the era she’s been romanticising on social media. Ellen Coyne, Political Correspondent of the Irish Times, tells Brendan about why it’s striking such a chord and posing wider questions about mothers’ choices.
