Fifty Feminist States

In this episode, Amelia speaks with Mayumi Tsutakawa, a Japanese-American writer and curator from Seattle. They discuss her family’s influence on the art world, her career as a journalist and curator, and her new lecture “Washington’s Undiscovered Feminists” that tells the stories of five remarkable, but often unsung, women from Washington. Mayumi also reflects on the past and present of the feminist movement, and shares about her family’s history at Japanese internment camps through the story of her maternal grandmother.Follow:Fifty Feminist States on Instagram (help us get to 1000 followers!)Links from the episode:Listen to this feature on the Tsutakawa family’s influence on the Seattle art scene from KUOW, as well as this clip specifically interviewing Mayumi.Learn more about Mayumi's lecture “Washington’s Undiscovered Feminists.”
