The Sacred #69: Mary Harrington

The Sacred #69: Mary Harrington

Elizabeth Oldfield speaks to writer and Unherd columnist Mary Harrington. 15/07/2020

Mary is a columnist for Unherd. She writes about how we navigate family life in an age of radical individualism, the emerging backlash against the regressive left and the crisis in modern democracy.

In this episode she speaks about the influence of her Steiner school, the negative impact of post-modernism on her mental health, the challenges of speaking about motherhood in public, and what drew her to post-liberalism.
