In the 19th and early 20th century, women were restricted from certain rights such as that to vote. Women were expected to stay at home, cook, clean, do laundry, and take care of their child. They weren’t expected to socialize, but rather spend time in the house. They generally did not have jobs as they were always home. Women were also expected to know a lot about music, singing, drawing, dancing, and most  Importantly learn to present themselves elegantly with their tone of voice, the way they walk, etc. Women who shared their interest in learning and acquiring knowledge were frowned upon by their male counterparts. It was considered unfeminine to be smart.

In the early days of treating mental illness, it was thought that the method of showering can stimulate the discharge of toxins from the brain. So because of this idea, people at that time invented a variety of cruel therapies. For example, cold water rinses the patient's head to calm down their "crazy brain." Later, the hospital will also let the patient soak in a hot bath for hours or even days. The doctor will wrap the patient tightly with a wet sheet and then wrap it in another layer of rubber cloth to let them sweat for hours. Doctors have a variety of seemingly scientific explanations for such treatments: alleviating brain congestion and releasing toxins that cause mental illness.

Lunacy Act 1890
A UK Parliamentary Act which repealed the Lunacy Act 1845 and County Asylums Act 1845, introducing "reception orders" authorising mandatory detention of a person in (mental health) asylums made by a special judge, which lasted one year; the orders were readily renewed at regular intervals by submitting medical reports to the Lunacy Commission.

The Act underwent legislative changes following the Mental Deficiency Act 1913 (which increased the powers of the Lunacy Commission, renamed the Board of Control), the Mental Treatment Act 1930 and National Health Service Act 1946, and was finally repealed following World War II by the Mental Health Act 1959.
