This book is a groundbreaking exploration of the complex relationship between women and mental illness, spanning two centuries.

Through a fascinating journey into the human mind, Lisa Appignanesi sheds light on the ways in which madness, badness, and sadness have been understood and treated over time.

Women play a central role in this narrative, both as patients (including famous figures such as Virginia Woolf, Sylvia Plath, and Marilyn Monroe) and as therapists.

Appignanesi argues that women have significantly influenced the nature of mind-doctoring, but in doing so, they have also highlighted new patterns of illness.

With 5 illustrations, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in the complex and fascinating history of mental health.
