S4 E16 Anna Motz: In the shadowlands of female violence.

Women Are Mad

Anna Motz is the internationally-acclaimed therapist they make movies about.

For thirty years, she's treated violent women in prisons from London to New York, bringing us her wisdom through her clear-sighted and compassionate writing. Anna's high profile case studies include Baby P, Victoria Climbie and Gypsy-Rose Blanchard, and remind us of the truth behind the headlines.

Anna's warmth and humanity shine through in this conversation, as well as her own anger towards the systems which tell only part of the story. Her latest book, If Love Could Kill, exposes the disturbing truth behind female violence. And how misogyny, abuse and exploitation are knitted into the narrative.

Day Retreat Alert

Feeling scorched by the summer? Or needing something to spice up a bleak autumn? Look no further. WAM promised you a workshop day... And we're so excited to now bring you exactly this.

We've teamed up with the gorgeous Ease Retreats to offer you a cosy refuge in the idyll of rural Oxfordshire. Come join us, as we make feelings fashionable with our workshop:

Your Feelings, Your Superpower.

We take an emotional deep-dive for the day, holding each other's hand (metaphorically if you prefer) feeding you cake (if you eat cake) and supporting you to explore it all - from rage to fear to love. And everything in between. This is group therapy with a difference. This is safety, this is sisterhood. This is an opportunity to connect with your emotional apparatus, with your personal life toolkit - and learn just how much power, capability and confidence you possess.
