Exploring our world through the female gaze, The Story of Woman podcast dives into everything from the economy and healthcare to politics, sexuality, climate justice, and beyond. Each episode dives deep into where we are today, how we got here, and what still needs to change to finally rewrite the story of mankind as the story of humankind.
While earlier episodes focused on one-on-one interviews with diverse voices and perspectives, the podcast is now specializing in deep, immersive, narrative-driven investigations into the lived realities of women and marginalized genders. These stories bring listeners face-to-face with individuals who are confronting gender inequality head-on - championing transformative solutions in their communities and across the globe.
To us, ‘woman’ means all those who presently identify as such - regardless of which body they were born with. This includes other marginalized genders such as those who identify as non-binary, gender fluid, or anywhere else on the spectrum of gender.

S3 E4. Shattering the Six Gender Bias Barriers Still Holding Women Back at Work with Amy Diehl and Leanne Dzubinski, authors of Glass Walls
You may have heard of the glass ceiling, but have you heard of the glass walls?
In this episode, Amy Diehl and Leanne Dzubinski discuss the pervasive issue of gender bias in the workplace, highlighting the six walls that hinder women's progress. Based on their book, Glass Walls: Shattering the Six Gender Bias Barriers Still Holding Women Back at Work, Amy and Leanne delve into the nuances of each barrier, providing insights, real-life examples, and the impact of gender bias on women's professional journeys, and society as a whole.
The episode also explores the concept of insufficient support, discussing how the lack of communal resources, government support, and societal structures can hinder women's progress in the workplace. Amy and Leanne stress the need for leaders to educate themselves, allies to speak up against bias, and women to build a strong support network. They provide actionable strategies for leaders, allies, and women to contribute to creating more equitable and inclusive organizations.
Some topics we cover include:
How gender bias manifests in subtle and unseen ways in the workplace
Terms Amy and Leanne coined, such as "hepeating" and "mantermediary," aiming to make gender bias visible by providing language to discuss these behaviors
How gender bias extends to societal structures and lack of support
Ways in which women of color are particularly impacted by gender bias due to multiple marginalized identities
The term "equalist" as an alternative to "feminist," emphasizing the goal of promoting equal treatment for all individuals
Actionable strategies for dismantling these barriers for leaders, allies, and women
