In this Haunted History episode, we uncover the chilling story of lobotomies and the women who were most often subjected to them. Sold as a miracle cure for everything from depression to defiance, the procedure left thousands of women scarred, silenced, or erased altogether. Behind the surgical theater curtain was a system that punished women for being “too much”—too emotional, too sexual, too ambitious. From housewives and daughters institutionalized against their will to famous cases like Rosemary Kennedy, lobotomies became a tool of control disguised as medicine. We’ll explore how this brutal chapter still haunts women’s healthcare today, where dismissal and overreach often go hand in hand.
