All Of It with Alison Stewart | Oct 17, 2018

Jill Soloway, creator of “Transparent” and “I Love Dick,” joins us to discuss their new book, She Wants It: Desire, Power, and Toppling the Patriarchy. In this memoir, Soloway tells the story of their parent coming out as transgender, as well as how they pushed through the male-dominated landscape of Hollywood to create the groundbreaking and award-winning Amazon TV series “Transparent.” The book charts Soloway’s evolution from straight, married mother of two to identifying as queer and nonbinary.
