Summary:	In Lady Lushes, medical historian Michelle L. McClellan traces the story of the female alcoholic from the late-nineteenth through the twentieth century. She draws on a range of sources--including medical literature, archival materials, popular media, and autobiographical writings of alcoholic women--to demonstrate the persistence of the belief that alcohol use is antithetical to an idealized feminine role.
