A Space Of Their Own by Susan Piddock
The Archaeology of Nineteenth Century Lunatic Asylums in Britain, South Australia, and Tasmania
The book delves into the historical and archaeological exploration of asylums and mental institutions, focusing on the lives of women who were confined within these spaces. It examines the social, cultural, and medical contexts that shaped the experiences of these women, shedding light on the often-overlooked narratives of their daily lives and struggles. Through a detailed analysis of the physical and social environments of these institutions, the book offers a nuanced understanding of the intersection between gender, mental health, and institutional care in a bygone era.
