„Hystera" (greek ~uterus)

Any unexplainable change of the woman's body or behavior used to be labeled as hysteria. The consequence for a woman not conforming to the patriarchal society (because how dare she) were unforgiving - in most cases, a stay in the asylum, to cure her "hysteria". Not only her social reputation was to be ruined, but her spirit and body as well. It was only during the 1980s that the supposed diagnosis was finally removed from psychiatric manuals.
