Hysteria and Female Writers

How dumb old-timey doctors made females do nothing all day because they made books instead of babies.


For me to tell you what a struggle it was for early female writers, especially female horror writers, I have to give you a very brief overview of what hysteria was. Hysteria was the first mental disorder attributed to women. It was a catch-all-dumpster-fire of a diagnosis for women who didn’t behave like men thought they should. Didn’t want to have sex? HYSTERIA. You wanted to have “too much sex?” HYSTERIA. Didn’t obey your husband’s every command? HYSTERIA. Sometimes...

I was a skinny, gawky young girl. I would eventually stop growing at six feet tall but all through middle school and high school, my body was stretching; especially my legs and my feet. 7th and 8th grade P. E. was torture.

Friday Feels- February 14th, 2020

Happy Friday Night Worms and happy Valentine’s Day! My v-day date and I are having a quiet night in. My date is really quiet and kinda stiff but they tell wonderful stories.


Books. My date is books. And being that February is Women in Horror Month, I wanted to suggest a female-written horror book. THE HUNGER by Alma Katsu is amazing. It’s a slow burn of a book that adds historical fiction and truly ominous terror. Katsu took the legendary Donner Party and thrown in suspense, a bit of the supernatural and a...

Women in Horror Month Books You Could Find in a Pinch!

Here's the challenge:

I arrived at my vacation destination and I realized that I forgot to pack books. One of my favorite vacation activities is reading by the pool! I'm also on a tight budget because this hotel was a little on the expensive side. What to do?

Hit up the local Goodwill Retail Store! (Any thrift store will do but Goodwill stores have sizable book sections) The most important part of this challenge is that it's February, Women in Horror Month so I also want to read in unity with the Horror Community. Let's see what I found...
