Recipe for Disaster: A Closer Look at the Women in Hamilton

In the first installment of the Recipe for Disaster podcast series, Liv and Liv discuss the musical Hamilton and female representation in Lin-Manuel Miranda's work. Liv and Liv dissect the female characters' purpose in the play, the sexualization of these characters, the male gaze, and Miranda's input on this through a modern lens. Through a feminist and economic criticism, this episode seeks to compare the idea of a woman's purpose in the 1700s versus today.
