Early Morning Companion

In Diary of a Mad Housewife and A Woman Under the Influence, the wives pill-popping habits and nervous breakdowns are presented as not-so-unreasonable responses to their crippling domestic conditions -- madness as a sign of their underlying sanity.

from Backlash by Susan Faludi; Doubleday; New York; 1991
