Today on Ladies First; Kori and our Taylor consider Taylor Swift's cultural power and influence over the past decade.

Today Taylor talks to long-time cartoonist Signe Wilkinson about depicting a controversial topic like abortion and about being a female cartoonist in general. A Pulitzer-Prize-winner, Wilkinson has captured the idiosyncrasies, absurdities, and the bigotry — particularly the misogyny — that has shaped American politics for decades. Wilkinson is also an advocate for free speech.

After thousands of years of oppression and being spoken over, all women restrain a huge,...
