The Degenerates by J Albert Mann
This fiery historical novel follows four young women in the early 20th century whose lives intersect when they are locked up by a world that took the poor, the disabled, the marginalized-and institutionalized them for life.
“The author portrays the movement's prejudice, racism, and violence with brutal realism; an author's note explains that the doctors' dehumanizing dialogue comes verbatim from real medical notesCrucially, she reminds readers that such prejudice still exists. . . . Respectful, unflinching, and eye-opening.” -- Kirkus Reviews
