Come to our first ever live show! In Boston, on Friday, September 13th. Tickets are available now!

It's September 8th. This day in 1969, a group called "New York Radical Women" holds a protest at the Miss America Pageant in Atlantic City, New Jersey. In the wake of the protest, a very persistent story emerged, despite no evidence to support it: that women burned their bras in protest.

Jody, Niki, and Kellie are joined by Cristen Conger of "Unladylike" to talk about the protest, how the bra burning myth was born -- and why the idea of the "bra-burner" feminist has stuck around to this day.

Be sure to check out "Unladlike" and Cristen's new show "Conspiracy She Wrote" wherever you get your podcasts!
