Jennifer and Jeanne continue their conversation about Charlotte Perkins Gilman's "The Yellow Wallpaper". Together, they explore how the Bible relates to gender roles in the Victorian era, the psychological impact of Stockholm syndrome, and the business of placing women "on a pedestal."

S3 Episode 9: Deadly Joy & Victorian Marriage

The Wild Olive Podcast brings you game-changing conversations about literature, culture, and the Bible. With co-hosts Jeanne Petrolle and Jennifer Bird, Wild Olive serves up idea-feasts: tasty insights about biblical texts and contemporary (or classic!) literature, with generous side-portions of cultural commentary and hearty laughter. One literature professor + one biblical studies professor = uncontrolled, out-of-bounds, untamed conversation: ideal listening for the post-evangelical, the spiritual-but-not-religious, the Bible-curious secularist, the free-thinking religionist, and the literary-but-not-stodgy!
