This book shows how, though attitudes and drugs may vary over time--from the laudanum of yesteryear to the consciousness-raising or prescription drugs of the '60s, and the ascendance of crack use in the '80s--dependency remains an issue for women. Kandall traces the history of questionable treatment that has followed this trend.
