On the second episode of “A Woman’s Right To Pleasure,” Stoya and the book’s Editor in Chief Alexandra Weiss are joined by artist, activist and founder of Pussy Riot, Nadya Tolokonnikova, and legendary punk musician Alice Bag. Alice was the lead singer and co-founder of iconic L.A. punk outfit, The Bags, and author of the memoir Violence Girl, From East LA Rage to Hollywood Stage. Nadya first gained international spotlight in 2012 when she and two other members of Pussy Riot were arrested following a political performance in Moscow's Cathedral of Christ the Saviour. Their protest had been directed at the Orthodox Church leaders for supporting Putin’s election campaign. Nadya and one of her bandmates ended up serving nearly two years in prison, all the while garnering support from celebrities and activist groups across the globe. 

In this episode, we discuss punk rock, the power of female rage, art as a tool for activism, advice for young activists, sexuality in ‘70s L.A., the differences in the female experience in the United States and Russia, cat-calling, slut-shaming, masturbation, menopause and being a feminist at every age.
