Author Suzanne Leonard – A Feminist Guide to Marriage

Can you be a feminist and still want to get married? Author and professor Suzanne Leonard says yes, and she makes the case in her brand new book, "A Feminist Guide to Marriage."

This episode of Big Blend Radio’s “Books & Authors” series, presented with Books Forward, features Suzanne, a Professor of Race, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Simmons University in Boston. Part memoir, part manifesto, and part feminist history, her book (Goldsmiths Press, out November 10, 2026) takes on one of the most personal and most political choices we make, and asks how we can make marriage fairer for everyone in it.

Join us for a warm, honest conversation about money and shared bank accounts, who does the laundry, why the tradwife trend is so appealing, what arranged marriages can teach us, the fairy tale of the wedding day, and how feminism can make your life, and the lives around you, better.
