This Edition of Ten Days in A Mad-House Is Illustrated and Annotated with a Brief History of Blackwell's Island Lunatic Asylum, With Additional Pictures, Word Definitions and Blank Pages for Notes.
Easy read Very interesting read. Hard to believe the abuse that was normal to the workers. The story line could have been much more detailed if allowed. Her book. Found grammatical errors and possibly typos. However it could be her style of writing and ethnicity. Easy read. Would recommend to those interested in mental health and comparisons to current institutions.This is raw American History . This is raw American History uncovered, uncensored and revealed by an incredibaly dedicated early female journalist. Should be required reading.Investigative Reporting in the late 1800's There are a number of publishers offering this book and, of the few I have seen, I found this publication to be more enjoyable.In any of the publications, readers will find the main story of how journalist Elizabeth Cochran Seaman (pen name Nellie Bly) posed as an insane person in order to gain entry into Bellevue hospital on Blackwell's Island. This is a revealing look not only into how people were institutionalized 130 years ago, but also the lack of knowledge of medical doctors at that time. The book also includes two short articles on employment agencies and women working in paper box factories.I found this publication more enjoyable for a number of reasons. There are hand drawn illustrations throughout the book depicting Ms. Seaman at various stages of her investigations. The back of the book features pictures of Ms. Seaman and a list of words that might not be well-known to modern readers. The Annotations section in the back offers an overview of Blackwell's Island Lunatic Asylum as well as notes on Ms. Seaman's participation. Her other books are also listed.Excellent book for those interested in history or just curious about this slice of life in New York over a century ago. Four stars.
