Summary of "Men Have Called Her Crazy" by Anna Marie Tendler
Men Have Called Her Crazy is a powerful and introspective memoir by artist Anna Marie Tendler, exploring the complex intersection of mental health and the pervasive impact of men on women's lives. The book begins in early 2021 when Tendler, overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, and self-harm, checks herself into a psychiatric hospital. During her two-week stay, she undergoes a series of psychological evaluations, engages in intensive therapy, and forms meaningful connections with fellow patients. A poignant moment occurs when a doctor observes that Tendler has a part of herself that feels invisible to others.
The memoir delves into key life events that have shaped Tendler’s experiences with mental health and the influence of men. From unrequited love in high school and her early sexual experiences to the trials of dating in her thirties and the decision to freeze her eggs amidst societal pressures, Tendler reflects on how these encounters have impacted her well-being.
As the title suggests, the memoir addresses the ways in which women’s experiences are often invalidated or misunderstood by men, contributing to their struggles. Yet, despite the overwhelming challenges and the despair that often accompanies them, Tendler ultimately offers a message of hope. She shares her journey towards self-acceptance and resilience, culminating in a hopeful note where she expresses a desire to face hardship without self-destruction—a wish she fulfills by the end of her narrative.
Men Have Called Her Crazy is a moving literary self-portrait that illuminates the pressures and expectations placed on women today, while offering a testament to personal growth and empowerment.
