Gen Z Generalized is a podcast created to inform today's teens and young adults of pressing issues affecting the world around them. The host, Chloe Gerhart, is a teenager herself who wishes to inform people of all ages about the problems Gen Z is facing on a daily basis.
As a continuation from my last episode, I've decided to talk about the second wave of feminism which took place during the 60s and 70s in the US. This subject is very interesting to me and I love to share my knowledge of it!
