In 1965 Alice Crimmins became the centre of one of America's most sensational murder trials, accused not only killing her children, but of violating society's expectation of motherhood. Alice's story was shaped as much by misogyny and by mystery. But the question remains, did Alice Crimmins kill her children, or was she a victim of the court of public opinion?

18 March 2025, 12:16 am - 50 minutes 48 seconds134. Dr Gisella Perl - Abortionist at Auschwitz
Dr Gisella Perl is a woman worth remembering this Women's History Month, a gynaecologist at a time when women, let alone Jewish women, were entering and excelling in medicine. A woman, a prisoner, a doctor who would work against the odds to save as many lives as she could in the notorious death camp, Auschwitz-Birkenau. Warning, this week's episode is not for the faint of heart, a big huge trigger warning for all of the violence and abuse.

11 March 2025, 1:28 am - 1 hour 11 minutes133. America's Forgotten War on Women
The American Plan was one of the largest violations of women's rights in US history, but it's one of the least remembered. For over half a century thousands of American women were arrested, forcibly examined and detained without due process, no trial and no evidence of a crime. Their offence? Being suspected of "immorality" under the social hygiene movement, also known as the American Plan.
