Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Report of the Conference of Jewish Women: Held at Portman Rooms, Baker Street, London, on 13th and 14th May, 1902
Of late years I am sorry to say there has been a terrible increase of insanity among women and very young girls. Almost every week I am called on to visit one or more poor patients in the insane ward. Here, they are of course, only kept temporarily. A magistrate sees them twice a week with the doctor. If the case is doubtful they are detained a fortnight in the hope of a cure; or if it is one of violence or settled melancholy, they are sent on to Colney Hatch.
