Gaslighters

<p>In the first instalment of our poignant, hard-hitting series: Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girlboss; Hannah and Maia breakdown "gaslight" and its terrible evolution. From a 1944 psycho-thriller starring Ingrid Bergman about a woman being tormented by her greedy husband, to a catchall for anytime anyone is ever unfriendly to us - the term "gaslight" is now a spectre of what it used to be. In this little series we ask - is this a natural linguistic evolution, or is the cultural abstraction of these words more damaging than we think?</p>
