Invalid Women: Figuring Feminine Illness in American Fiction and Culture, 1840-1940
Diane Price Herndl
“Price Herndl's compelling individual readings of works by major writers (Harriet Beecher Stowe, Hawthorne, Wharton, James, Fitzgerald) and minor ones complement her examination of germ theory, psychic and somatic cures, medicine's place in the rise of capitalism, and the cultural forms in which men and women used the trope of female illness.” - Choice
