About This Item
Mankato, Minnesota: Minnesota State University, Mankato, 1989. Spiral_bound. Good. Spiral_bound. This circa 1989 group project on women and madness is the work of six students in a Women's Studies course taught by the influential Jewish lesbian feminist Dr. Bette Tallen at Minnesota State University. Subjects include: the connection between witches and mad women, the epistemological issues in science concerning women and madness, a survey of hysteria through the theories and criticisms of Sigmund Freud, Jacques Lacan, Helene Cixous, and Juliet Mitchell, lesbianism and compulsory heterosexuality and madness, Maori women and colonisation and madness, psychology and the family as patriarchal institutions, and feminist utopias as "a space to be mad(e)," along with in-depth reviews of the participatory research and group process through which the project was conducted. Each section includes an illustration, presumably by the student authors, the collection of which can be seen on the front cover, and the text is additionally illustrated with a vignette by Linda Marie Nole as well as a fold-out plate of a digram entitled "What is Heterosexuality & What causes it?" The text begins and concludes with poems by Mary Moran and Chiah Heller-Zbloki from the multicultural lesbian literary and art journal Sinister Wisdom's 36th issue: Surviving Psychiatric Assault & Creating Emotional Well-Being in Our Communities. This rigorously researched and creatively presented Women's Studies group project offers a unique look at the material, critical theories, and intersectional perspectives students engaged with in the late 1980s or early 1990s at an institution like Minnesota State University.

About Underground Books, ABAA
Underground Books is an online rare and antiquarian bookshop as well as a brick and mortar general bookstore of the same name in downtown Carrollton, Georgia. Sister store Hills & Hamlets Bookshop is located in the nearby planned eco-community of Serenbe.
Co-owners Josh Niesse and Megan Bell met in 2011, just 10 days or so after Josh opened the doors of Underground Books, literally underground, several steps below street level in a 100-year-old basement in our historic downtown. Megan, an English student at the University of West Georgia, walked in, fell down the rabbit hole, and never left! Reader, we married in May of 2014, under the book arch that now resides at the bookshop. We are both proud alumni of the Colorado Antiquarian Book Seminar (CABS), and Megan additionally of Rare Book School at the University of Virginia and of the ABAA Women's Initiative Mentorship Program.
We have two open bookshops that carry new, used, bargain, rare, and antiquarian books, as well as our online office, impossible without our incredible team of booksellers, including two fellow CABS graduates, Miranda McMillan and Suzanne Carnes.
Like many booksellers with open brick-and-mortar stores, we are passionate generalists, but our specialties are in decorative publisher's cloth bindings; fairy tales, folklore, and mythology; popular science and natural history; the occult; and fine press books.
