Last week, the WNYC Studios podcast Note to Self featured conversations with women of different generations about the highs and lows of living online, and how they've bent the internet to their will.

The conversations are part of “No Filter: Women Owning It Online,” a series made in collaboration with New York Magazine’s The Cut. 

"What I really experienced with this series of conversations was really a sense of — I don't like this word — but it was empowerment. People saying, 'I'm going to be me, you can take it or leave it, I do not care. I am owning it,'" Note to Self host Manoush Zomorodi told WNYC's Jami Floyd.
