"One of the commonest and saddest of transformations is the change of the gay, laughing young girl, radiant with love and all aglow at the thought of union with her man, into the housewife of a decade -- complaining, fatigued, and disillusioned." So Abraham Myerson describes the "nervous housewife," the discontented woman who finds that marriage isn't all it's cracked up to be.

"One of the commonest and saddest of transformations is the change of the gay, laughing young girl, radiant with love and all aglow at the thought of union with her man, into the housewife of a decade -- complaining, fatigued, and disillusioned." So Abraham Myerson describes the "nervous housewife," the discontented woman who finds that marriage isn't all it's cracked up to be. In this book, originally published in 1920, Myerson explores the phenomenon of those who "pass through life with pains and aches of the body and soul." Myerson explains that industrialization has taken away some of the homemaker's basic tasks; that feminism has encouraged women to be taken seriously; and that divorce and the nervousness of the housewife are both manifestations of the discontent of women. Myerson also touches on topics such as the effects of monotony, the types of housewife, childbearing, and happiness. ABRAHAM MYERSON held many prestigious posts, including that of clinical professor of psychiatry at Harvard University, and he was one of the examining psychiatrists for the Sacco-Vanzetti trial. In addition to The Nervous Housewife, Myerson also wrote Foundations of Personality, Inheritance of Mental Diseases, When Life Loses Its Zest, Psychology of Mental Disorders, Social Psychology, and Eugenical Sterilization.

Autorenporträt
Abraham Myerson (1881–1948) was an influential American neurologist, psychiatrist, and an author known for his contributions to the field of mental health. Born on November 23, 1881, in Lithuania, Myerson immigrated to the United States early in his life and pursued a robust academic career. He received his medical degree from Tufts Medical School in 1908 and later taught at both Tufts and Harvard. Myerson is perhaps best remembered for his work bridging psychiatry with social issues, which was an emerging approach in the early 20th century. He was deeply interested in the intersection between society, environment, and mental health, and he advocated for the humane treatment of psychiatric patients. One of his seminal works, 'The Nervous Housewife' (1920), discusses the psychological stresses faced by women in the household, providing insights that were progressive for the time. In this book, Myerson analyzed the impact of domestic life on women's mental health, challenging societal norms and advocating for greater understanding and support for housewives experiencing nervous conditions. His literary style often combined a scientific perspective with a humanistic approach, reflecting his belief in the necessity of considering the whole individual within their social context. Myerson's legacy endures through his numerous publications, including books and a multitude of journal articles that addressed psychological and neurological topics with both clinical expertise and a deep sense of compassion.
