SUMMARY:STS Keynote 2: Amanda Gailey\, The Woman Who Wrote her Way out of a Tomb
DESCRIPTION:Full title: The Woman Who Wrote her Way out of a Tomb: 
 Forgotten Novels of the Nineteenth-Century U.S. Asylum System\n\nAlmost a 
 century before sociologist Erving Goffman described “total 
 institutions”— establishments where a population of inmates are 
 subjected to strict regimens and discipline that nearly inevitably result 
 in predictable patterns of abuse\, neglect\, and survival—an American 
 children’s author\, Martha Eugenia Berry\, similarly theorized the U.S. 
 asylum system\, after she was forcibly confined to one for years on the 
 directive of a single physician.  Her two novels about asylums\, part of 
 her long effort to abolish the asylum system\, have been overlooked by 
 scholarship\, but provide insight into the tenacity of institutional 
 power\, the limits of reform\, and the rise of both psychiatry and the 
 concept of privacy in the United States.
