She explained that it has created a network of women, both involved and watching the series. She stated in another Entertainment Weekly interview, "[It's] given me more opportunities to speak to those women about issues important to me and Jenni Konner and to talk about politics and art and health and creativity and spirituality in a way that feels honest to us."
