Revision as of 10:56, 6 February 2007
- Lois McMaster Bujold - The Curse of Chalion and Paladin of Souls
- Charlotte Perkins Gilman - "The Yellow Wallpaper"
- Gwyneth Jones - Life - A major character has a mental / nervous breakdown for some weeks.
- Justine Larbalestier - "Magic or Madness Trilogy" - A major character has a mental breakdown; madness hangs over many characters.
- Norma Marden - An Eye for Dark Places (1993)
- Marge Piercy - Woman on the Edge of Time (in "utopian" future society it is discussed that one character had a breakdown; mental breakdowns are not treated negatively. This is in contrast with treatment of protagonist in modern-day US society, where diagnosis is affected by racism and sexism, and treatment is inhumane and stigmatizing.)
- Raccoona Sheldon - "Your Faces, O My Sisters! Your Faces Filled of Light!"
- Sarah Waters - Affinity
- Ophelia / Shakespeare
- "Millennium (TV series)" episode; see Lara Means; see also Frank Black as comparatively rare example of male protagonist experiencing madness or insanity
- Heroes (TV series)" - character Niki Sanders in season 1
suggestions & possibilities
