The only autonomy Karen felt she had in her life she excepted over her own body. She was an extreme version of what a lot of women suffer from – a lack of control over things other than their bodies, which turns the female body into a tool for power – good, bad, or ugly.\" https://bit.ly/3OF49az", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
