For centuries, women have often been thought of as “the weaker sex.” Where did this belief even come from, and why has it resulted in the idea that women are somehow “less” than men?
Why were women relegated to the home, unable to participate in a “man’s world” for so long?
This week, Katie and Allison talk asylums, lobotomies, and even Valium, as they take you through a topic that’s REALLY haunting… (sigh)… the patriarchy, and explore the origins of an age-old diagnosis: “hysteria” and how it resulted in the mistreatment of women for centuries.
