Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Intense, rapid, brilliant. A pioneer contribution to the feminization of psychiatric thinking and practice.” —Adrienne Rich, Front Page, The New York Times Book Review

“Challenges the definition of madness itself. No serious future studies will be able to ignore its theories or its very existence.” —Gloria Steinem, Ms. Magazine

“A stunning book...absolutely fascinating...necessary to every woman in America.” —Los Angeles Times
