SHIRLEY MANSON – Teenage Rebellion, Sexism and Witches

Untethered...with Clementine Ford

Send us a text

This week, I’m joined by my own personal icon and legendary trailblazer, Shirley Manson, front woman of 90s rock band Garbage.

We discuss teenage rebellion, sexism in the music industry, the patriarchal systems that shape our world and the history of witches in Scotland. We also delve into the cultural landscape of the 90s, celebrating the nonconformity of British women in music and Shirley's own journey of self-acceptance and authenticity, and how different the possibilities for growth were for women in our mothers’ generation.

From navigating body image and aging to the joy of life's simple pleasures, Shirley's candid reflections offer a refreshing perspective on personal growth and resilience. We discuss the importance of kindness and connection in healing a fractured society, the challenges of political divides, and the global crises that shape our times. Whether it's planning future travels, indulging in pastries, or cherishing the memory of a lost pet, this episode is a heartfelt celebration of a life lived fully and fearlessly.
