Ep. 69 Amy Richards - Really Interesting Women podcast

Amy Richards describes herself as an author, producer and organizer. But those generic terms hardly describe her enormous global influences on modern feminist thinking. 

In fact, she is the president of Soapbox, Inc., the world’s largest feminist speakers’ bureau, and the affiliated Soapbox Foundation, creators of Feminist Camp. She co-founded and spent several years leading the Third Wave Foundation now known as the Third Wave Fund, a national organization for young feminist activists which promotes gender justice and is a movement to end patriarchy, transphobia, homophobia, and misogyny.

She was a producer of the Emmy nominated TV series, Woman, an executive producer on the movie The Glorias starring Julianne Moore, a consulting producer on the HBO documentary Gloria Steinem: In Her Own Words and an advisor to PBS documentary on the women’s movement in America, MAKERS: Women Making America. She is most popularly known as the co-author (with Jennifer Baumgardner) of her book Manifesta: Young Women, Feminism & the Future which just issued a 20th anniversary edition. 

Put simply, she’s a leading global voice for contemporary feminist issues.
