What were the ideas propelling forward the Stay at Home Daughter movement and who were the leaders? In this episode, we do a deep dive into the theology and philosophies that drove women to pursue a life of protection instead of explore the outside world.

The Daughters is an audio documentary exploring the way the Stay at Home Daughter movement - the idea that daughters should never leave the covering of their fathers until and unless they are married - affected those who grew up in it, including in their relationships, careers, education choices, emotions, dress, and religious choices. The documentary is open to those affected by this movement - both positive and negative.
