Reading the diary of Alice James

Submitted by Anne Dalke on Thu, 05/07/2009 - 4:00pm.
Have just finished reading the diary Alice James kept during the last few years of her life: a remarkable account of a 19th century American woman (who lived in England, had several breakdowns, and was diagnosed as "hysteric") in conversation with herself: "the only difference between me and the insane was that I had not only all the horrors and suffering of insanity but the duties of doctor, nurse, and strait-jacket imposed upon me, too."
