Welcome to No Shame. A podcast that features the experiences of women who refuse to bend to the whims of cultural expectations.
I'm your host, Rebecca Woolf. And as well as being an author, I am also a single mother of four teenagers, a widow, a friend, a lover, who has spent the last two decades writing about my very human -- and also very often messy -- experiences. On No Shame, I will feature the stories, experiences, and wisdom of those who inspire me most: the women who have been shunned, shamed, and stigmatized for being unapologetically human in their work, relationships and lives.
Each week we'll be interviewing different women who has been told that she should be ashamed of something, but chooses not to be. New episodes every Tuesday.

Madness is a Story We Are Told with Suzanne Scanlon
My guest today is Suzanne Scanlon. She's the author of the book Committed: Of Meaning and Mad Women, a book that details Suzanne's experience being institutionalized in New York City in the nineties. Her book explores the nature of madness with such elegance and precise insight, and it made me want to know her and love her. Today on the show we talk about mental health, the hysterical woman archetype, and what it's been like to be called crazy.
