How did the Victorians view mental illness? After discovering the
case-notes of women in Victorian asylums, Diana Peschier reveals
how mental illness was recorded by both medical practitioners and
in the popular literature of the era, and why madness became so
closely associated with femininity. Her research reveals the plight
of women incarcerated in 19th century asylums, how they became
patients, and the ways they were perceived by their family, medical
professionals, society and by themselves.
