Femme et Folie sous l’Ancien Régime

  • Publication type: Collective work
  • Editors: Closson (Marianne), Grande (Nathalie), Nédelec (Claudine), Tranié (Ghislain)
  • Abstract: Women’s mental pathologies, long related to the body and sexuality, are said to be evidence of their intellectual and moral weakness. Mad in and of their bodies, women would be inclined to deviant behaviour. The question of gender is therefore central to the study of madness and its representation.
