- Gender and Class in English Asylums was researched and written over more than eight years. It draws on a large number of unpublished sources in national and local archives including a variety of more than 200 primary reports, case notes and meeting minutes from government, council and asylum authorities; over 70 published primary sources; and a large quantity of secondary sources. The result is a monograph which examines and challenges established ideas around power structures, the gendering of the asylum and the ideological shift from the asylum to the mental hospital during a period of marked social change in England.
