In this captivating episode of Feminist Book Club: The Podcast, we explore two thought-provoking segments that delve into love, borders, and the complexities of family and wealth.

What happens when you fall in love with someone with an incompatible passport? Sally chats with Anna Lekas Miller about her book Love Across Borders:: Passports, Papers, and Romance in a Divided World, which blends real-life love stories with the complicated (and fairly recent) history of passports and border control. They talk about the lingering impact of the Mexico/U.S. border, Sally\\u2019s fear of becoming stateless, and how the Muslim ban changed the trajectory of Anna\\u2019s own life and love.
