Gaslighting
Gaslighting:(verb) to manipulate someone by psychological means into questioning their own sanity. I believe this is a very important term for everyone to know, especially young women because we are so often easily taken advantage of. Any person attempting to gaslight you is essentially trying to brainwash you for their betterment. The term comes from the 1938 play Gaslight, where a man named Jack used gas powered lights to try to convince his wife that she was crazy so he could commit her to an insane asylum and take her inheritance all for himself. This play was later converted into a very popular classic movie featuring Ingrid Bergman (look it up).
