A period piece that truly shows the racism and mysigoy that is mental health treatment of late 1800’s. Interesting insights but overall smells of privileged white women savior.

This book was difficult to read. Nellie Bly talks about women being forced to stay in the asylum even though they are mentally stable as well as women being mistreated and abused by staff. My heart breaks for the men and women who were treated this way. I’m so glad Nellie Bly was brave and decided to get a first hand account of the asylums.
3.5 out of 5 stars!
