    Rose Marie (aka Rosemary) Kennedy was the third child and eldest daughter in the political-powerhouse  family that brought us JFK, Robert, and Ted, but after a botched lobotomy in 1942, she was hidden away from the public eye and her story was left untold for decades. Join Britt, and special guest host, Rachel, this week as they discuss the sorted history of lobotomies, which were primarily done on women, the eccentric and wannabe rockstar doctor that performed them, and how Rosemary Kennedy ended up in his crosshairs at the hands of her own father.
