Exeter Girls: Volume II - More Letters from a Feeble-Minded School

By Jason R Carpenter

Volume II of Exeter Girls continues the exploration of young women and girls committed to Rhode Island's institution for those deemed 'feeble-minded', focusing on the period following the Great Depression. This book uncovers new letters and documents, revealing how changing social attitudes and economic pressures affected these institutionalized individuals. By amplifying these often-silenced voices, the book further challenges our understanding of mental health care and social welfare in mid-20th century America.
