'Only
Women Bleed'
is a feature
film based on the accounts of six women
admitted into an Asylum
during the late Nineteenth Century.
All suffering from Hysteria.
Andre Breton would describe
these women as the, 'greatest poetic discovery of the
late nineteenth century.' Women during this period
were regarded as being too sensual,
thereby open to manias of all
kinds, and therefore requiring a great deal of
censure to prevent them from becoming
Hysterical, which
untreated, would surely lead to becoming
insane. In fact women were
seen as the carriers of madness.
