Summary
A fully revised and updated edition of a best seller first published in 1972 argues that sex-role stereotypes are used in determining who is mentally ill, and suggests women are punished for independent, creative, or self-assertive behavior. Original.
Amazon.com description: Product Description:

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.
