Lessons from Mary Harrington on Family, Feminism, and Faith

In this episode, Dr. John Patrick delves into Mary Harrington's transformative journey from militant feminism to finding deeper freedom through motherhood. Discussing Harrington's recent article in First Things, Dr. Patrick explores the profound shift in Harrington's beliefs about freedom and family. From living in a lesbian community to embracing the joy and responsibility of raising a child, Harrington's story is a powerful testament to the concept of "freedom for" rather than "freedom from." Dr. Patrick also examines broader societal issues such as family stability, the technologizing of fertility, and the importance of moral structures in human life.
