Description ▲
Originally published in 1972, Women and Madness was met with great acclaim--and controversy. Acclaimed psychologist and feminist Phyllis Chesler charged that a double standard existed for the treatment of the mentally ill and that women's concerns were taken much less seriously by doctors and counselors.
