Publisher's Summary
A powerful memoir that reckons with mental health as well as the insidious ways men impact the lives of women.
In early 2021, popular artist Anna Marie Tendler checked herself into a psychiatric hospital following a year of crippling anxiety, depression and self-harm. Over two weeks, she underwent myriad psychological tests, participated in numerous therapy sessions, connected with fellow patients and experienced profound breakthroughs, such as when a doctor noted, “There is a you inside that feels invisible to those looking at you from the outside.”
In Men Have Called Her Crazy, Tendler recounts her hospital experience as well as pivotal moments in her life that preceded and followed. As the title suggests, many of these moments are impacted by men: unrequited love in high school; the twenty-eight-year-old she lost her virginity to when she was sixteen; the frustrations and absurdities of dating in her mid-thirties; and her decision to freeze her eggs as all her friends were starting families.
This stunning literary self-portrait examines the unreasonable expectations and pressures women face in the 21st century. Yet overwhelming and despairing as that can feel, Tendler ultimately offers a message of hope. Early in her stay in the hospital, she says, “My wish for myself is that one day I’ll reach a place where I can face hardship without trying to destroy myself.” By the end of the book, she fulfills that wish.

Boring and annoying.
This was maybe the worst book I’ve ever encountered. Please don’t waste your time. This all should have stayed on the very expensive settees.

Excellent Title
There was something missing from this memoir of an entitled woman who hasn’t even seen half of what patriarchy has done to women, especially in the medical field.
I didn’t know she was the ex-wife of somebody famous. I was just reading it as a standalone book of her own story. She lacks self-awareness and makes up for it with privilege.
I hope one day someone does this title in this topic justice. Don’t waste your time here.
Her voice gets gravity when it gets too low, which is extremely annoying as well
