Title: Men Have Called Her Crazy: The New York Times bestselling memoir Author: Anna Marie Tendler Narrator: Anna Marie Tendler Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 39 minutes Release date: August 13, 2024 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: 'A stunning self-portrait of a woman trying to make sense of the misogyny and sexism she has faced throughout her life.' - TIME Magazine 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. This is a memoir that speaks to every woman who has been made to question her own sanity, doubt herself and her worth. Anna Marie Tendler's powerful writing, insight and clarity enabled her to find a way out of the narratives that had been foisted on her since girlhood and create her own, new story. This beautiful and heartfelt book invites us to do the same. 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 fulfils that wish.
