In this episode of Meet the Author, Dr. Anna Malika Tubs discusses her book 'Erased: What American Patriarchy Has Hidden From Us'. The conversation explores Dr. Tubs' inspiration, driven by her mother's work in women's rights and her own travels and research. She reveals how her first book 'The Three Mothers' on the mothers of MLK Jr., Malcolm X, and James Baldwin led to this new work.

Dr. Tubs elaborates on the systemic exclusion of women and Black individuals from historical narratives, the intentional design of American patriarchy by the founding fathers, and offers perspectives on recognizing and changing these outdated systems. She also highlights the intersections of race and gender within systemic oppression, and provides examples of international practices that support mothers and families. Dr. Tubs expresses hope in large-scale social change through small, community-level actions.
