Episode 33 - Rage in the Paint
Historically, the world has offered easy access to women feeling their power. But, find yourself your own island, depict your stories and make sure your voice is heard.
It’s the first episode of Season Two and let’s kick down some doors was a pair of scuffed Doc Martins with feminism written on their soles.
Jen from Immortal Perfumes made this topic particularly easy has we weave starting out in perfume as her own ‘girl boss’ and name car’s Medusa, because she turns men into stone. A lover of history, we have 2 historical fiction books to discuss, as well a recreating Marie Antionette’s perfumes and keeping Dead Writer’s in a locket.
The episode is dark, it’s powerful and it’s not for the faint of heart.
Trigger warning: for sexual assault survivors, the books discussed cover some difficult topics.
