The Nervous Women brings together a reflection born from the experience of illness and a passion for history. This book expresses the personal and political need to consider the nervous phenomenon as part of what were called "women's illnesses" in the first half of the 20th century in Mexico. Readers will encounter the author's voice and, through it, the voices of three Mexican poets categorized as having nervous conditions: Nahui Olin, Antonieta Rivas Mercado, and Pita Amor. In this way, we can delve into the social construction of illness and the profound experiences of free women who, with their refined pens, left an immeasurable legacy to the genealogy of women.
