Women under Hysteria[1] (1876-1880) is a photomontage from the so-called Attitudes passionnelles, a series of photos of female hysterics at the Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital hospital.
The reason for this post[2] and the previous one[3] is that I've recently seen the film Hysteria, which I suppose relies heavily on the book The Technology of Orgasm. by Rachel Maines. The key to understand Victorian morality is William Acton's dictum "the majority of women are not very much troubled with sexual feelings of any kind".
Instead of calling the female orgasm an orgasm, they called it hysterical paroxysm. It would be good to find out if Charcot also practised pelvic massages.
In an interview[4] with Rachel P. Maines, she states that "Freud ... attempts massage therapy for hysteria and it turns out that ... he's never good at it." What is her primary source for that?
