It's heartbreaking -- many of the women there didn't belong in a mad house at all. Unfortunately, it used to be very easy for husbands to get an inconvenient wife committed -- sometimes for nothing more than failing to agree with him. (She must be mad!) <br /><br />Of course I'm not saying this was your GGM's case -- post partum depression is very real.<br /><br />Nelly Bly was AMAZING! Now I just have to be careful to keep her from taking over.Vicki Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08114677510459055768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-42211552323936604772010-01-28T16:11:22.863-05:002010-01-28T16:11:22.863-05:00This sounds like so much fun.This sounds like so much fun.Jon Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15642062329014055563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-2431284974033013872010-01-28T15:46:03.916-05:002010-01-28T15:46:03.916-05:00Since my last comment was quite long, I’ll make it...Since my last comment was quite long, I’ll make it short - it sounds thrilling.Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-43641128439274705262010-01-28T13:46:37.045-05:002010-01-28T13:46:37.045-05:00I LOVE Nellie Bly...as far as women that I admire ...I LOVE Nellie Bly...as far as women that I admire go, she's pretty high on my list! I went to a cool exhibit and 4D movie about her at the Newseum in DC last year, and they did a pretty good job bringing her to life, but I just can't wait to see how she manifests in your story. What a great idea! I agree with Carol...write fast! :)Ameliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07278278583402139698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-60157651581923349942010-01-28T09:30:18.696-05:002010-01-28T09:30:18.696-05:00What a teaser you've hit us with this morning!...What a teaser you've hit us with this morning!

My great great grandmother was admitted to the county lunatic asylum on two occasions during the latter part of the 19th century. I managed to trace her medical report and found that she had been diagnosed with 'Mania', a term that covered a broad range of conditions, including post-natal depression.Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494219959077922220noreply@blogger.com
