In this episode, Dr. Vonda Wright sits down with writer, activist, and feminist Jennifer Weiss-Wolf, a leading voice in the fight for menstrual equity. Dubbed the “architect of the U.S. policy campaign to squash the tampon tax,” Jennifer is the author of Periods Gone Public and serves as VP at the Brennan Center for Justice.

Her groundbreaking work has been featured in The New York Times, TIME, Cosmopolitan, MSNBC, and more. Together, they dive into how a local donation drive sparked Jennifer’s national policy work, the cultural stigma surrounding menstruation, and the rise of the menstrual equity movement since 2015.

They also unpack the critical need for accurate menopause education, public policy reform, and the long-lasting impact of the Women’s Health Initiative’s flawed messaging on hormone therapy. This conversation challenges outdated taboos and explores how both menstruation and menopause can serve as powerful starting points for advocating for women’s health across every life stage.
