| + | 1. I found Nellie Bly's accounts of Blackwell Island to be particularly intriguing, she tells of an institution that was almost completely custodial in its management or lack thereof. The physical torment inflicted upon patients at Blackwell was also particularly alarming, and from what I can remember Bly was not even in the most condemned and controlled part of the facility. (The women who could be seen out for walks on the leash sort of system were believed to have it the worst as they were deemed the most volatile and dangerous) - Joey Welch | ||

| + | 2. In both of the texts it describes how women had difficulties defending their sanity and ultimately their freedom. Was this attitude driven by a sexist society or the lack of knowledge regarding mental health? | ||
