You gotta be careful, because if you don’t go far back enough, you’ll end up lobotomized in some kind of haunted house. Go too far back and, especially as a woman, you’ll be labeled “hysterical” or worse then exiled or killed. You gotta find that sweet spot when you could walk into Wild West CVS and take home a bottle Morphinecocainemeth to help wash down the Bovril.
They’re exactly looking to be treated for hysteria.
While the word know just means frantic and sort of crazed and can be applied to anyone, it’s originally about having a womb. From the greek word for a womb.
You’re obviously right that them getting sent to an asylum or getting their brain poked through their eye (although lobotomy wouldn’t be invented for like 30-40 years from their date) would be horrible.
But she’s also right that they did indeed used to “jerk off” female patients as a treatment for hysteria. Then the doctors got lazy about rubbing and fingering women until climax, so they invented the vibrator. I may be taking a few liberties with the story so Google it yourself to verify the historicity.
