Beautifully illustrated, unfortunately the original text didn't give much to work with in terms of adapting this into a graphic novel, so though I liked what was there, I ultimately was left asking, "Is that it?"

Just not my cup of tea. I already knew all of this, because of American Horror Story Asylum, which I would recommend to anyone who can handle scary/eerie things 🤷🏻♀️😊

More of an indictment of women’s rights at the time as opposed to a treatise on mental health. Investigative reporting about working conditions, the housing and treatment of the insane, and being a servant in society. Informative but sparse and not terribly gripping. Just marginal as a read, possibly more important as an historical document.
