Episode Details
Original tape date: April 3, 2025. First aired: April 22, 2025.In this episode of One to One, Sheryl McCarthy speaks with Hostos Community College Professor Sarah Hoiland about her book "Righteous Sisterhood: The Politics and Power of an All-Women's Motorcycle Club", an in-depth research on an all-women’s motorcycle club, challenging the male-dominated, biker stereotype. Professor Hoiland shares how her years embedded with the “Righteous Sisterhood” revealed a tight-knit, disciplined group of women—many professionals and veterans—who find sisterhood, identity, and purpose through riding, rituals, and philanthropy. While the club avoids feminist labels, its existence redefines women’s roles in biker culture, highlighting resilience, solidarity, and the human desire for belonging.
