About this listen

The ancient Egyptians may have been the first to document the medical "condition" of hysteria, but they were most certainly not the last. This catch-all diagnosis for any woman who didn't fit perfectly into the patriarchy's view of women lasted all the way through the Greeks, middle ages, and into the 20th century. In this episode we focus in on a few prominent/discredited figures who helped develop the field of psychoanalysis and helped define "hysteria".
