Rachel Maddow Inspires Smith Graduates: “Do Not For the Fame, But For the Glory”
Guest post by Progressive Women’s Voices alumna Ileana Jimenez
Just moments before Maddow marched into Smith’s sun-splashed Quad with faculty and trustees, I spoke to Maddow about her thoughts on speaking at a women’s college whose mission is proudly feminist.
“I do feel that the core of the feminist experience is that women are expected to be full people independent of their gender, and that it really is about having the same high expectations of everybody in this kind of an environment,” she said. “I think the idea that nobody gets cut any slack because of who they are is just as liberal and feminist as the idea that everybody needs special dispensation. You better be a badass no matter what you’re doing.”

‘Jack’s Big Music Show’ vs. ‘Rachel Maddow’: Kids watch the darndest things

Rachel Maddow is my six-month-old baby’s favorite TV personality. Maybe it’s the sing-song cadence of Maddow’s voice. Maybe it’s the bright colors of her set. Maybe it’s her politics. Whatever it is, Chloe will sit quietly whenever Maddow is grilling conservatives or waxing on about infrastructure.
