For those of you who receive the Surratt Courier, the March issue will have a lengthy article about Victorian women who were sent to the madhouse for a number of reasons - not all of them legitimate. That would seem to be an area that was rift with abuse of all sorts. Even a sane woman (and many who were admitted were sane) might not be believed if reporting such physical/sexual abuse.

This is a very good piece on that topic:
