Focusing on the concept of "hysterical laughter," the book uncovers the historical narratives surrounding women's amusement, highlighting how it has been both marginalized and manipulated. Maggie Hennefeld delves into the ways society has theorized and demonized this form of laughter, revealing its complex relationship with gender dynamics and cultural perceptions. Through this exploration, she brings to light the often-overlooked significance of women's laughter in shaping social discourse.
