In this Behindthepaddle deep dive, Victoria explores how Bettie Page a Southern girl with a homemade fringe  revolutionised erotic culture. From her trauma-shaped childhood to the Klaw Studios era of playful bondage, from moral panic to mental-health battles, and finally to her mythical return as a feminist and fetish icon, this episode reveals the woman who made kink visible…and made consent look like joy.
