A talented writer with a fiery imagination being smothered by the male, authoritative medical ignorance of the time. A mental health patient being gaslighted and forced to conform to a prescribed, unhelpful care plan.
I'd love to read anything else this talented creature has written, but I'm afraid, before diving into a Google search, that it might come up short because the era"s "caring environment" didn't give her the chance.
Update after Google searching her: she got out of the bars. She was prolific!
