I just finished a recent release that is fiction, I don't want to mention the title because I don't want to give away spoilers. But it realistically portrayed how women and mental illness were treated in the mid-century time period. I'd like to continue with this theme, because we're in spooky season and what's scarier than not having autonomy with something as permanent as a lobotomy?
I've already experienced Girl, Interrupted and didn't like it. What I read had Shudder Island vibes just not as severe hallucinations, but still being in a mental hospital against one's will.
Thank you for your suggestions. 🙂

Well the obvious thought is One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest by Ken Casey
I know what book you’re talking about. Just finished it!
The Snake Pit by Mary Jane Ward
My Lobotomy, by Howard Dully
