Critics Review
Illuminating, insightful and important with warm, powerful storytelling. – Claudia Hammond, BBC Radio 4 All in the Mind presenter and author
Captivating. Clear, incisive, sometimes humorous and reflective. Who would have thought this story would be such a page-turner? * Dr. Julian C. Hughes, Honorary Professor, Bristol Medical School, University of Bristol *
A fascinating, accessible book full of brilliant case studies of remarkable women. We need to know these stories to better understand the complex issues still facing women in psychiatry today. – Bella Jackson, Integrative Therapist and Mental Health Nurse, author of Fragile Minds
Jane Robinson’s mental health heroines rise as beacons of humanity and wisdom. Her detailed research and vivid descriptions bring them to life with energy and humour. When women protest, good things happen; human rights and equality laws improve. – Dr Gianetta Rands, FRCPsych, editor of Women’s Voices in Psychiatry
