Warning: This episode includes frank depiction of sexuality. Who were the women diagnosed with hysteria in Dr. Charcot's 19th-century hospital in Paris? Find out, as we focus in particular on two patients: Blanche, the "Queen of Hysterics", and Genevieve, the Saint-Hysteric. And be sure to review us so you can get your picture drawn in the historical time period and culture of your choosing!
