Misogyny in the Mental Health System - by the survivors themselves

Historically insubordinate Victorian women were dubiously labelled ‘hysterical’. This has continued right up to the present day where the labels have changed but not the misogyny behind it. Psychiatry still has control of the narrative of women’s mental distress. Most people have no idea what violence the mental health system can do to women. This book women tell their truth about a system that wants to hide it.
