About Women on the Road
Where curiosity meets context
Women on the Road was developed to go beyond the superficial commentary and quick statements. The site unites law, lifestyle, psychology and history to answer questions of why things happen, not what happens.
The episodes and articles should be aimed at promoting critical thinking, grounded discussion, and a better comprehension of the systems that determine the personal freedom, behavior, and justice.
Questions That Start the Conversation
Because understanding begins with better questions
Why do men, as a rule, have less steady feet than women? Why did the women in the 1950s and 1960s start to desire something other than a home job due to more compelling legal, economic, and cultural pressures? And what are actual cases of crime when studied by law and not by headlines?
The questions that Women on the Road was created to analyze are of this nature — intelligently, sincerely, and in context.
What We Cover
Key conversations at the intersection of law and everyday life
Law and Everyday Life
We discuss the influence of law on work, family, personal security, and personal rights. Women on the Road bridges the gap between the legal and the real by relating the intricate legal concepts to everyday life outside the legal arena and the newspaper.
Gender, Behavior, and Social History
Biology, environment and social conditioning influence human behavior. The issues that are discussed in Women on the Road include: why are men generally less stable on their feet in comparison to women, the significant social transformations, and why women of the 1950s and 1960s started to desire jobs beyond the home due to economic pressures, legal restrictions, education, and shifting cultural values, and the relationship between past change and current concepts of work, independence, and identity.
True Crime and Legal Accountability
Women on the Road is a true crime that is addressed in a legal and social context. We work on actual cases to learn about justice, responsibility, and structural issues, and we provide the depth that one would anticipate out of the finest true crime podcast discussions.
Why Women on the Road
A thoughtful alternative to fast opinions
Women on the Road is a research-based and calm study in a media environment where speed and spectacle reign supreme. We admire the multidimensionality of law, conduct, and history, and the wisdom of the people who are involved in them.
We think intelligence rather than indignation, reason, rather than guesswork, and talk, rather than yell.
