E11: Wrath - The Demonisation of Women’s Rage & Sexuality Part 3

 In the final part of our deep dive into Wrath: The Demonisation of Women’s Rage & Sexuality, we explore the twisted modern history of hysteria, uterine fury, and so-called nymphomania. This week, we trace how women’s pain, desire, and defiance were pathologised—from Church-led exorcisms to "pelvic massages" at the hands of midwives and early physicians.

We unpack the invention of the vibrator as a tool of medical control, Freud’s maddening theories on penis envy and repressed sexuality, and the bizarre phenomenon of World War II soldiers weaponising “hysterical” limbs to escape the frontlines. This episode uncovers how the legacy of hysteria continues to haunt modern medicine, sexuality, and the ways we understand feminine power.
