For Her Own Good: Two Centuries of the Experts' Advice to Women by Deirdre English, Barbara Ehrenreich

4.0

Actually super interesting, if impossible to summarize to anyone who casually asks "so what are you reading?" without their eyes glazing over. A tour de force through the history of the medical establishment, capitalism, psychiatry, child-rearing, feminism and modern society in general that draws a lot of really interesting connections.
