Summary
Marilyn Monroe was an unrecognized feminist pioneer before her time. Nearly 70 years before #MeToo, she penned an expose about her experiences with “the casting couch” called “Wolves I Have Known.” In the final episode of our Marilyn Monroe series, we delve into the parts of Marilyn’s life that no one talks about. Vulture film critic Angelica Jade Bastién joins Brooke and Aricia to talk about what Marilyn teaches us about how society treats women who battle mental health challenges, and discuss some of her greatest on-screen moments.
