Thirty years after Sheila Gilhooly and Persimmon Blackbridge's publication of Still Sane, a sculpture exhibit and book about Sheila's experiences being locked up in the nuthouse because she was a lesbian, the book has been republished. It is now part of Megan Davies' epic study of the history of the treatment of mental illness in Canada, "After the Asylum"..
After Gilhooly and Blackbridge published Still Sane and did book tours with it, they discovered that the audiences were full of lesbians who had themselves been locked up - and had often never told the story to anyone.
