House of Hekate

We talk about women in the contemporary public eye - from Anne Hathaway to Hilary Clinton - and why the general public is so obsessed with hating them. Part 2!

We talk about maligned women in the media, from Eve to the modern popstar.

For this episode, we are joined by international hair icon Charlie Price, a nearly 40-year veteran of the beauty industry. As a provocateur and self-described contrarian, Price dishes out what he always does—his opinions, which are at times illuminating and at times controversial.

(TW: discussions of eating disorders, body dysmorphia)  And we're back with a rousing discussion of contemporary stereotypical womanhood, including deep dives into the concepts of the Manic Pixie Dream Girl, Bimbocore, and more. 

Welcome back, ladies of the night! This time we're diving into the history and cultural construction of whiteness and its effects on the beauty industry. This episode may be triggering for some. 

We talk about all things beauty - from standards to the concept itself, we dive deep into the expectations put upon women and femmes. Is beauty a myth? Do cosmetics set us back? Can we solve these issues in this episode? Stick around to find out! 

We're back with Part 2 of our deep dive into the Barbie movie! In this episode we talk about Cassiopeia as our figurehead, Proustian flashbacks (and madeleines), the unique relationship between mothers and daughters, and of course, patriarchy. If you loved Barbie as much as we did, stick around! 

Introducing House of Hekate, a podcast by women, for women. Our aim is to empower women to take back the night by using our knowledge of literature, history, film, and pop culture. In our first episode, we cover the Barbie movie, a love letter to women, and take an in depth look into how Greta Gerwig employs literary and film history to build a modern picture of femininity.
