Girls and Their Monsters: The Genain Quadruplets and the Making of Madness in America by Audrey Clare Farley

The book started out as if it were going to be case studies and scientific conclusions. Instead, I felt the author used the cases selectively and presented only information that presented her opinions. The more I read, the more slanted the content so that by the time I got to the last third of the book, I questioned the validity of all of her conclusions, especially in light of content she presented as fact that I know to be untrue.
