About The Event
When Katerina Bryant suddenly began experiencing chronic seizures, she was plunged into a foreign world of doctors and psychiatrists, who understood her condition as little as she did.
Blending memoir with literary and historical analysis, Hysteria finds a community of women who shared similar diagnoses throughout history – from the ‘Queen of Hysterics’ Blanche Wittmann to Mary Glover, who suffered from ‘hysterica passio’ in 1602.
By exploring these stories of women who had no voice in their diagnosis and treatment, Bryant finds her own voice: powerful, brave and resonant.
Katerina appears in-conversation with Fiona Wright on Zoom.
