AI Summary

In this episode of 'Stuff You Should Know,' Josh and Chuck recount the incredible story of Franca Viola, who, in 1965, stood against a harmful Italian custom that permitted men to marry women after kidnapping and assault. Viola's refusal to enter a 'rehabilitating marriage' with her kidnapper and rapist not only highlighted the societal pressures women faced but also initiated important legal changes in Italy, paving the way for women's rights and social progress. Her courageous actions have established her as a feminist icon and a significant figure in combating injustice.
