French's 1985 nonfiction work, Beyond Power: Women, Men and Morals, was the basis for her major address at the First World Summit on Women and the Many Dimensions of Power, in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, in June 1990.
In part 1 (WINGS #37-25), French described a pre-existing matrifocal human social organization that prioritized care for offspring.
In Part 2 (#38-25) she describes and decries the rise of a patriarchal and hierarchical system that prioritizes competition for personal accumulation and power-over, and prescribes male control of females. French excoriates this system for wrecking the viability of life on earth.
Thirty-five years later, the accuracy of this analysis is increasingly clear.

Music has a hole in it. The fires, killer heat, Arctic blasts they dont make it. Global warming is not for popular music? Where are voices of ordinary folks suffering through the never-before-seen, calls for people power? Here we go: 21 songs for this grave new world.
This episode is audio from a book launch held in NYC on Dec. 6th, 2025, with the book being “China Changes Everything, an anthology by social justice activists, journalists and commentators.”

This week on Backbeat's Holiday show you'll hear 1920s blues from Bertha "Chippie" Hill, irreverent music from Huey P Smith, gospel from Clara Ward plus holiday themed songs from Leon Redbone, Madison Violet, Ron Sexsmith, Joe Turner and a Hanukah song in Spanish.
Today, we begin with honesty.
We are witnessing an architecture of erasure—
a project where history is rewritten with bulldozers and bombs.
The world watches; some in silence, others in open complicity.
But here, on this program, we refuse silence.
We ask the question the world keeps avoiding:
How long must a people suffer before their humanity is finally recognized as sacred.
To help us peel back the layers of this crisis,
we’re bringing you a rare meeting of minds—
a deep, unflinching analysis from two of the most formidable scholars working today:
Norman Finkelstein and Mouin Rabbani.
In a conversation originally hosted by India & Global Left,
these two analysts map the shifting tectonics of global power.
From the “fig leaf” of failed ceasefire resolutions
to the unsettling rise of far right voices claiming space in the debate,
Finkelstein and Rabbani offer the kind of forensic clarity
that helps us understand not just what is happening—
but why it is happening now.
They don’t simply comment on the moment.
They chart a roadmap for the global conscience.
So stay with us.
As we strip away the silence.
As we uplift the resilient.
As we carry forward the flame of justice.
This journey is shared.
It is urgent.
And it is sacred.

This is the second of two conversations with Jerry DeWitt author of “Hope After Faith: An Ex-Pastor’s Journey From Belief to Atheism.”
In our first visit, Jerry DeWitt talks about his childhood experiences that led him to be a fundamentalist Pentecostal preacher. His website is an interesting source with links to the curious conundrums fomented by religion.
In this conversation, recorded by phone from western Florida on December 13, 2013, we begin with Jerry DeWitt’s process of coming out as an atheist, after twenty-five years as a fundamentalist Pentecostal preacher.
The books Jerry DeWitt recommends are those that “show the human side of renowned ‘non-believers,’” written by Richard Dawkins, Carlton Pearson, Michael Williams, Dan Barker, and/or Daniel Dennett.
