Industry Reviews
" 'For Her Own Good' is a landmark work: It changes everything one believed before about doctors, scientists, and all other kinds of patriarchal experts. the most important work on women since 'The Feminine Mystique'.
Book Jacket - Claudia Dreifus
" 'For Her Own Good' gives us a perspective on female history, the history of American medicine and psychology, and the history of childhood, unlike any we have had. I have read it with mounting intellectual excitement, underlining, marking pages, arguing from start to finish with its authors in my head. It is humanly and theoretically fascinating, written with clarity, wit, and verve and with a deep concern for the future."
Book Jacket - Adrienne Rich
" ' For Her Own Good'...uses rationality informed by moral insight to meet the 'experts' head-on."
