The Podcast is inspired by the ground-breaking book, Female Fear Factory: Unravelling Patriarchy’s Cultures of Violence by award-winning author and renowned feminist scholar, Professor Pumla Dineo Gqola. The Female Fear Factory speaks to the different ways patriarchy produces fear in people socialised as female.

Through first-hand stories, women, and non-binary people from across locations, South Africa to Sri Lanka, India to Iran and culture, generation and religion, talk about their experience of fear, how it is nurtured within them, how it has shaped their lives, and how they are breaking free from it. We hear from the author herself, Pumla Dineo Gqola, Chitra Nagarajan, Natalia Molebatsi and many more.
