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.

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!
