Dear all,

I am looking for specifically feminist work on the use psychotropic 
drugs --  e.g., analyses of the use of valium and other "mother's little 
helpers" during the 50s, or more recent work (critical or otherwise) on 
Prozac and other anti- depressants/mood enhancers.  If anyone has 
suggestions, please let me know.  Thanks.

Best,

Elisa Hurley
