Out of Her Mind Women Writing on Madness

OUT OF HER MIND: WOMEN WRITING ON MADNESS contains selections from 21 literary and historical works, spanning five centuries and representing a wide range of pathologies--depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia....To Squeeze so much material into such a small space, many excerpts are disappointingly brief....Still, OUT OF HER MIND presents a wealth of important writing, even if it lacks focus and attempts too much in too little space. It offers a good introduction for someone interested in women's literature on madness."Shannonhouse, Rebecca is the author of 'Out of Her Mind Women Writing on Madness', published 2003 under ISBN 9780375755026 and ISBN 0375755020.
