continued discussion from class

I began reading up more on the actual cause of death of Virginia Woolf. It was to say a little bit macabre then just walking into a lake in drowning. It was said she suffered from a 'manic-depressive illness'.  But as I was reading I found she left a final note to her husband who was said to have supported her tremendously. So, I found out she was married and it goes on to say interestingly that in two books by Stephen Trombley that "Woolf is described as having a confrontational relationship with her doctors, and possibly being a woman who is a "victim of male medicine", referring to the contemporary relative lack of understanding about mental illness". I found this interesting that even her mental health was affected by her being a woman trying to be treated by a male doctor. Which makes me wonder, what if it was a female doctor; what if that was a commonality at the time? Is it possible her mental illness could have been more understood?
