Summary
This week Maggie from Feminist History joins Jasmin as they discuss the history and horrors behind Blackwell's Lunatic Asylum.

Built in the early 19th century the asylum was initially only meant to house 250 people. It quickly became overcrowded and lack of funding combined with a host of bad ideas lead to egregious human rights violations. The stories that made it out of the asylum have served as the inspiration for countless pieces of pop culture over the last century including AHS: Asylum.
