In the Season 2 Finale of No Romance Without Finance, Pattie is joined by the brilliant Dr. Cara Wall-Scheffler, Professor and Co-Chair of the Department of Biology at Seattle Pacific University. Forget what you thought you knew about our ancestors–Cara’s research shows that women weren’t just gatherers and caretakers, they were hunters. Together, Pattie and Cara explore the cultural narratives that hold women back, how society’s success relies on women’s work, and how the huntresses of time past can inspire women today.
