Описание: Tracing the experiences of women who were designated insane by judicial processes from 1850 to 1900, this book considers the ideas and purposes of incarceration in three dedicated facilities: Bethlem, Fisherton House and Broadmoor. The majority of these patients had murdered, or attempted to murder, their own children but were not necessarily condemned as incurably evil by medical and legal authorities, nor by general society. Alison C. Pedley explores how insanity gave the Victorians an acceptable explanation for these dreadful crimes, and as a result, how admission to a dedicated asylum was viewed as the safest and most human solution for the ‘madwomen’ as well as for society as a whole.Mothers, Criminal Insanity and the Asylum in Victorian England considers the experiences, treatments and regimes women underwent in an attempt to redeem and rehabilitate them, and return them to into a patriarchal society. It shows how society’s views of the institutions and insanity were not necessarily negative or coloured by fear and revulsion, and highlights the changes in attitudes to female criminal lunacy in the second half of the 19th century. Through extensive and detailed research into the three asylums’ archives and in legal, governmental, press and genealogical records, this book sheds new light on the views of the patients themselves, and contributes to the historiography of Victorian criminal lunatic asylums, conceptualising them as places of recovery, rehabilitation and restitution.

Описание:
This work examines the provenance of an interview conducted with Turkish President Mustafa Kemal Atat rk by Karl Emil Hildebrand, published in the US in 1926. The interview's significance is twofold. Firstly, Mustafa Kemal's acknowledgement of Turkish culpability in Armenian massacres and secondly his assertion that a last-minute confession by a prominent female conspirator thwarted the 1926 Izmir assassination attempt on his life. Leading Turkish scholar, Professor Turkkaya Ata v, asserts that the interview is an Armenian fabrication made in support of false claims of genocide. New evidence, revealed here, establishes the provenance of the interview. Mustafa Kemal's acknowledgement of Ottoman guilt is confirmed. It is also contended that the Izmir plot conspirator who alerted Mustafa Kemal was Turkey's leading feminist and PRP member, Halide Edib. This revelation challenges the prevailing narrative that Mustafa Kemal exploited the attempted assassination to silence innocent PRP members who had no knowledge of the plot.
