Although focused on the west, Chesler's Women and madness and Showalter's The Female Malady (Penguin Books) might be helpful. Are you interested in the Bhakti movement and women's religious (ecstatic) madness? Manushi had a special issue a few years back on women in the Bhakti movement that you might find interesting. There has been some work on "bhar" or South Asian women who become possessed as a way of protest. --Shamita
