Feminist mental health activism in England, spanning from c.1968 to 1995, presents the first comprehensive exploration of this vital movement. Through a combination of original oral history interviews and in-depth case studies of previously unexplored feminist initiatives, this book delves into the rich tapestry of feminist mental health activism in the United Kingdom. It charts the evolving journey of feminist activists in the late 1960s, initially dismissing psychological approaches before embracing a diverse range of therapies to better understand themselves and provide support to one another. This insightful book traces the emergence of feminist mental health groups in the early 1970s, the flourishing of feminist therapy throughout the 1980s, and the profound influence of feminist politics on the national charity Mind in the 1990s. It delves into the subjective experiences of participating in feminist activism, shedding light on how these emotions have shaped the narrative of this historical movement. Moreover, this book pioneers a new direction in the history of mental healthcare in postwar England by establishing how feminists' grassroots support for women reshaped the landscape of community care. It is a groundbreaking work that sheds light on the profound impact of feminist activism on mental health and social justice, contributing to a more inclusive and understanding understanding of the past.
