The Baby-sitters Fight Club
Two grown women discuss The Baby-sitters Club series, one book at a time, with the seriousness it deserves and the humor that you need. In each episode, Brooke Suchomel and Kaykay Brady explore both the text and subtext of Ann M. Martin's work and what it says about growing up female in America in the 1980s and 1990s -- and how these messages affect us today.

BSFC #31: Dawn's Wicked Stepsister
•
Season 1
•
Episode 44
February 1990 packed a lot of change into a short month: Nelson Mandela was released from prison, the Brady Bunch was given a gritty reboot (with a theme song that must be heard to be believed), and two mismatched single parents hastily crammed their households together with minimal planning & conversation. What could go wrong?
Brooke and Kaykay discuss the Gaslight (Dawn), Gatekeep (Mary Anne), Girlboss (Kristy) vibes of Dawn's Wicked Stepsister, the importance of behavior modeling in leadership, and the bravery of healthy conflict in relationships.
And seriously: Check out Florence Henderson's theme to The Bradys. We cannot stress this enough.
