In 1939, fifty-nine-year-old Beatrice Alexander was found incapable of managing her own property and affairs, despite her claims that she was perfectly well. A history of mental capacity law in twentieth-century England and Wales, Looking After Miss Alexander examines ideas of mental illness, citizenship, care, and the role of the state.
