This definitive book was the first to address critical questions about women and mental health. Combining interviews with patients with an analysis of women's roles in history, society and myth, Chesler concludes that there is a terrible double standard when it comes to mental health. In this new edition, she addresses many of the most relevant issues to women and mental health today, including eating disorders, social acceptance of antidepressants, addictions, sexuality, postpartum depression and more. "Women and Madness" remains as important today, as it was when first published in 1972.

PHYLLIS CHESLER is one of the founding feminists and author of seminal works including the bestseller Women and Madness, as well as Letters to a Young Feminist and Woman's Inhumanity to Woman. Her most recent book, The New Anti-Semitism, has won her international acclaim and sparked huge debate. Her books have been widely reviewed, including front page New York Times Book Review coverage. She has lectured and organized political, legal, religious, and human rights campaigns in the United States and in Canada, Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East. Chesler is a co-founder of the Association for Women in Psychology (1969) and The National Women's Health Network (1974).
