Few women will be surprised, some men may be, that little has changed in
the 25 years since Phyllis Chesler’s Women and Madness was first published. Her
incisive, powerful book has just been reissued. It’s a cause for anger that the
questions she asked so long ago remain unanswered. Why are so many women in
therapy? Who decides women are mad? And why is there a double standard in mental
illness, so that women are far more likely to be judged mad and treated than
men? Published by Four Walls Eight Windows, $15, ISBN 1568580967.
