Feminist icon Chesler's pioneering work--2.5 million copies
sold--revised and updated for the first time in 30 years.
This definitive book was the first to address critical
questions about women and mental health. Combining patient
interviews with an analysis of women's roles in history,
society, and myth Chesler concludes that there is a
terrible double standard when it comes to women's
psychology. In this new edition, she addresses head-on many
of the most relevant issues to women and mental health
today, including eating disorders, social acceptance of
antidepressants, addictions, sexuality, postpartum
depression, and more. Fully revised and updated, Women and
Madness remains as important today as it was when first
published in 1972.
