Publisher's Summary

Hysteria shares its etymological roots with the ancient Greek word for womb. Does that explain why women are still more likely than men to be accused of hysterical behaviour?

Great Second Showing

I really enjoyed this one, I watered the garden for longer than necessary to listen to the whole thing. This is quickly becoming one of my fave podcasts. It’s quick and to the point and packed full of cool stories and explanations. I also love the sardonic tone of Alice at certain points, she cracks me up.
