1 post | 1 read | 1 to read

Feminist icon Phyllis Chesler's pioneering work, Women and Madness, remains startlingly relevant today, nearly 50 years since its first publication in 1972. With over 2.5 million copies sold, this seminal book is unanimously regarded as the definitive work on the subject of women's psychology. Now back in print this completely revised and updated edition from 2005 adds to her original research and findings perspectives on the issues of eating disorders, postpartum depression, biological psychology, important feminist political findings, female genital mutilation and more.

Women and Madness | Phyllis Chesler

pick

I greatly enjoyed this book! Even though it was published in the early 1970s, the insights are still so applicable. Chesler is unflinching in describing the terrible sexism, discrimination, and overall harm that has been done to women. She excellently described how psychological treatment has especially failed women time and time again. This is the 3rd book by Chesler that I have enjoyed and will surely stay with me!
