On Female Madness

Female madness befalls under the category of ultimate and most radical resistance. Literature opens novel perspectives of discussing and presenting this new change - the ways it affects its representatives, the social upheaval it creates, leading to even more different feminist movements and avant-garde forms of functioning; but also, reexamines the ways in which madness liberates societies, introduces innovative forms of democratization and freedom from social constraints, bringing and creating contemporary, open systems where division, separation, segregation, oppression, patriarchy and phallocentrism are non-existent ideas. Such colossal change, initiated by the contemporary historical and social trends requires, necessitates modification of the cultural system as well as alteration of the systems of values, merits and virtues in order to distance itself from the traditional patriarchal structures. That, however, opens the perspective of having a choice in the way of living and a possibility of building and strengthening of the identity. Therefore, the aspiration has to be focused on such cultural and gender reinforcement, which expected and desired result would be epochal.
