S8 E5 Julie Mae Cohen on resistance and revenge
Julie Mae Cohen is the master of feminist revenge fantasy. Today, Jen is without Salima's steadying influence, and goes fairly rogue - 'inviting' Julie to take a turn around the more chaotic borders of WAM's garden. Where they 'enjoy' sights which include the spooky (and hilarious?!) realms of the afterlife, a light smattering of politics and the shadows of true crime. The best of times. And if you like this, you'll LOVE Julie's latest revenge thriller, Body Count, where a socialite muddles romance with homicide. Just up your street!JOIN JEN IN LONDON FOR A LIVE TALK ON RELEASING YOUR FEMALE RAGE ON TUESDAY 18TH NOVEMBER - WITH BOOK SIGNING!JOIN CLUB WAM ON PATREON FOR AD-FREE LISTENINGBUY JEN'S TIMES AND SUNDAY TIMES BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR : OUT NOW IN PAPERBACK!!

Here at WAM, our mission is Making Feelings Fashionable.For all time, women have been called hysterical, crazy and 'over' emotional. We teach you that your emotions are in fact your superpower. Starting from the launchpad of anger, the most taboo of feelings for women. Each week, psychotherapist Jennifer Cox and writer Salima Saxton invite a brilliant woman to talk about what makes them mad, and come to understand that our feelings are our compass and rocket fuel. With the Women Are Mad podcast, women finally have a space to laugh about, celebrate and learn from their previously unpopular feelings.Follow us on @womenaremad on Instagram and tell us what makes you mad.Jen's book, Women Are Angry: Why Your Rage Is Hiding And How To Let It Out is AVAILABLE NOW! Published by Bonnier and available from all booksellers. On pre-order in the US.patreon.com/WomenAreMad Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
