Miss America Meets Feminism

Guest: Margot Mifflin, Professor of English at the City University of New York, and author of "Looking for Miss America: A Pageant’s 100-Year Quest to Define Womanhood" Margot Mifflin describes Miss America as an organization that is “in constant dialogue with feminism, though rarely in step with it.” The beauty pageant that began in 1921 has survived second-wave feminism and the #metoo movement, but it’s seen some dramatic changes and challenges. It's so close to its 100th anniversary . . . Will it make it?
