Annotated Bibliography Feedback
Overall I received good feedback for my annotated bibliography and my professor could see how my research question was evolving and changing by the sources I had used and the articles I had read. I was told that I need to look into the notion of hysteria and its rise as a scientific diagnosis and field of study. My professor recommended looking into some of Freud's work and the feminist critics of Freud to maybe understand the notion of hysteria. One of the source that I used followed a girl's journey in an insane asylum for twenty-eight years. My professor said that it was more along the lines of a primary source and could be used for cultural analysis to look at Victorian gender norms and expectations for women during the 19th century. After getting my feedback I definitely think I will need to do more secondary research and look into the scientific theory behind why there was a rise of the Victorian madwoman. I plan on using scientific journals and medical journals to look at the diagnosis of hysteria and to also look at Freud's work to understand his thoughts on the subject.
