Still Sane
Amazon.com Review : Still Sane is a catalog of an exhibit by Persimmon Blackbridge and Sheila Gilhooly about how lesbians have been considered mentally ill by psychiatric establishments. Full-page photographs of Blackbridge's clay forms of partial female bodies convey the anguish of isolation and abuse, then the exhilaration of self-discovery and freedom. Gilhooly's texts refer to her own experience of being in and out of mental hospitals in the 1970s after she was diagnosed with Lesbianism. Essays by lesbian and Mad Movement writers describe the progress both communities have made in protecting women from diagnoses of deviance. This book is about refusing to be what others label you, about surviving undiminished, about reclaiming yourself.

The project caused an internet sensation, generating thousands of posts and shares on social media, blog posts as far away as Germany and Denmark, and inter...
Literatures of Madness
Literatures of Madness: Disability Studies and Mental Health brings together scholars working in disability studies, mad studies, feminist theory, Indigenous studies, postcolonial theory, Jewish literature, queer studies, American studies, trauma studies, and comics to create an intersectional community of scholarship in literary disability studies of mental health. The collection contains essays on canonical authors and lesser known and sometimes forgotten writers, including Sylvia Plath, Louisa May Alcott, Hannah Weiner, Mary Jane Ward, Michelle Cliff, Lee Maracle, Joanne Greenberg, Ann Bannon, Jerry Pinto, Persimmon Blackbridge, and others. The volume addresses the under-representation of madness and psychiatric disability in the field of disability studies, which traditionally focuses on physical disability, and explores the controversies and the common ground among disability studies, anti-psychiatric discourses, mad studies, graphic medicine, and health/medical humanities.
