This paper focusses its attention on 158 inmates who have been associated with some form of mental disorder. I divided the inmates into four groups. The first group contained 71 women who have been labeled mental patients. The second consisted of 41women labeled mentally retarded. The 46 women in the third group have been associated with both mental illness and mental retardation. 135 women have been associated with neither and I use this group as the control group in my comparative study.
I attempt to reconstruct the life histories of the women with mental disorders and show how mental disorders and women's careers interact.
