This #Recommendsday, I'd like to tell you guys about this fascinating work of nonfiction. It's an examination of mind doctor and their patients and the understanding of madness, badness, and sadness re: women's mental health over the course of the last two centuries. Appignanesi makes some interesting/controversial hypotheses of how women have shaped the nature of treating MH (as doctors and patients).
