No One Asked: The Dark Feminine: Lily Allen, Virginia Guiffre and the Fight to Silence Female Power

Nothing whips the world into more of a frenzy than women unashamedly owning their stories and telling them without fear. Lily Allen's album West End Girl, Virginia Giuffre's memoir Nobody's Girl tell very different stories of victimhood but both offer expressions of the dark feminine - unapologetic female perspectives on suffering and integration. In this episode Zoe and Hattie unpack why the dark feminine - a woman expressing her full experience without erasing her shadow side to make herself palatable for others - is important to embrace for us to grow as people and transform as women.We talk about the different dark feminine archetypes and the oppression female victims of abuse have historically undergone. The silence that often surrounds female stories of abuse in adulthood despite our insistence as a society that we want to believe women and protect children. What about the adults? Zoe asks.
