Fallen women


Listen Later

Twenty-seven women fell in suspicious circumstances. Seventeen died. Often, in the shadow of their fall, was a man. What if they didn’t fall. What if they were pushed?


Warning: This episode contains some upsetting content around the issues of domestic violence, sexual violence and homicide.
