Out of Her Mind: Women Writing on Madness
This book is a great anthology of stories written by women labeled mad or insane by the people in the era they lived.
The compelling facts reveal women were deemed mad if they voiced a political opinion, or labeled mad if they opposed their husband's beliefs. A simple desire to make a living and dedicate sole time to being a writer could land a lady in the mad house.
I read several of the books depicted in these short stories.
I commend these daring ladies to write down the struggles they encountered with this disease.
A written account lasting in history in itself was a risk to take.
This should tell you how deep this pain of this disease lingered within the mind and soul of these women.
I thank them for sharing all the stories and hardship throughout the journey of this disease which cripples the mind, body and soul.
