This week on Braless Watch we will be discussing I Love Lucy's Season 1, only episodes 1 through 17. This is part 1 of 2. We talk about the queen that is Lucille Ball, how revolutionary the show is, and how it doesn't quite hold up to today's standards (that doesn't stop us from watching though!) Listen in on how feminism is applied to cultural references back in the 50’s and how we react to that. Hope you enjoy it!
