Wanting vs Being Wanted: Why Does Female Desire Still Make People Uncomfortable?


Listen Later

Bridgerton, Fifty Shades of Grey, the new adaptation of Wuthering Heights… oof are we getting into it.

On the surface, it looks like we’re living in a moment where female desire is more visible than ever.  But are we actually getting closer to understanding it… or have we just found new ways to package it?

In this episode, we take a journey through the strange, complicated history of female desire, from sirens and witches to corsets, hysteria diagnoses, and Hollywood censorship.

At the heart of it all is one question: What happens when women stop being the object of desire, and become the subject of it?
