    13.13 Losing a Breast to Gain a Life
    2024/10/24
    Most of the episodes in this series have been about shaping the female body in the name of beauty. But there is at least one major reshaping that has nothing to do with beauty and everything to do with survival. Breast cancer was known to the ancient Egyptians and nearly every culture since, but for most of that time there was no effective treatment. The early modern period saw a growing recognition that the tumor or maybe the whole breast needed to go: a terrifying treatment plan in an age that didn't know much about anesthesia and nothing at all about germ theory. Science got better before feminism did, but celebrities in the 1970s began to break the stigma and the silence about this sadly common disease. It is also time to vote on the topic of series 14!

    13.12 In the Eye of the Beholder
    2024/10/17
    They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and history proves it: blackened teeth, modified skull shapes, extended necks, lip plates, and piercings of various body parts. All of these have been considered the height of beauty, and women went to great lengths to achieve it. This week's episode gives the details. It is also time to vote on the topic of series 14!

    13.11 The Witch's Mark
    2024/10/10
    Jane Wenham was accused of witchcraft in 1712. One of the trials was a search of her body. Did she or did she not have a witch's mark where her familiar sucked her blood? Or maybe a Devil's mark where he sealed her as his after a nocturnal initiation. Most of the episodes have been on what women did to make themselves beautiful (whatever that happened to mean at the time). This episode is doing double duty as my second annual Halloween episode, and it is about what calamity might happen if perchance your body happened to have a blemish. Music for this episode is the "Dream of a Witch's Sabbath" by Hector Berlioz (Symphonie Fantastique, Mvmt 5). The recording is in the public domain and available on the Internet Archive. Sound effects for this episode are freely available on freesound.org and include work by Dvideoguy, SoundFlakes, visionear, lotteria001, and others.
