Description
Dr. Pragya Agarwal's "Hysterical" explores the history and science behind our understanding of emotions as being inherently linked to gender. By examining the impact of these notions, particularly in relation to women's subjugation throughout history, she envisions a future where emotions are ungendered.
Through this lens, Agarwal delves into the complexities of emotion and its relationship with gender, shedding light on how our current understanding has shaped societal attitudes and interactions. This thought-provoking work invites readers to consider the potential benefits of reimagining emotions as a more fluid concept.
With 438 pages, this paperback edition offers a comprehensive exploration of a topic that is both timely and timeless. A valuable contribution to psychology, social science, and gender studies, "Hysterical" is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in understanding the intricacies of human emotion.
