Over two weeks, she underwent myriad psychological tests, participated in numerous therapy sessions, connected with fellow patients and experienced profound breakthroughs, such as when a doctor noted, \"There is a you \u003ci\u003einside \u003c\/i\u003ethat feels invisible to those looking at you from the outside.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eMen Have Called Her Crazy\u003c\/i\u003e, Tendler recounts her hospital experience as well as pivotal moments in her life that preceded and followed. As the title suggests, many of these moments are impacted by men: unrequited love in high school; the twenty-eight-year-old she lost her virginity to when she was sixteen; the frustrations and absurdities of dating in her mid-thirties; and her decision to freeze her eggs as all her friends were starting families. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This stunning literary self-portrait examines the unreasonable expectations and pressures women face in the 21st century. Yet overwhelming and despairing as that can feel, Tendler ultimately offers a message of hope. Early in her stay in the hospital, she says, \"My wish for myself is that one day I'll reach a place where I can face hardship without trying to destroy myself.\" By the end of the book, she fulfills that wish.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnna Marie Tendler is an artist and writer.
