A review by aimeerose_lumsden
The Female Malady: Women, Madness and English Culture 1830-1980 by Elaine Showalter

2.0

A bit of a difficult read for me personally. I came at this book with a psychology mindset; wanting to know the scientific ins and outs of the psychology behind the female malady. This book reads more like a historical piece, therefore I was disappointed. However, if you are interested in more of a psychology history type of book this may be for you.
