Psychiatric textbooks tend to describe psychosis as it is experienced by men. The well-documented illness of Zelda Fitzgerald illustrates the feminine side of psychosis. The distinctive features of Zelda's illness--its specific precipitants, the timing of its onset, the discontinuities in its course, the pronounced mood swings, the preservation of intellect and of agency, the maintenance of human ties, the association of flare-ups with immune and hormonal changes, the responsiveness to treatment, the lifelong creativity and productivity--show the female side of psychotic illness, one that is rarely described in diagnostic manuals. This paper relies on Nancy Milford's biography of Zelda, as well as on several other biographical sources and, using Zelda's own words and the words of her husband and friends, allows entry into a feminine world of psychosis, not encountered in textbooks. The expression of psychotic illness varies from person to person, its exact shape depending on many factors, most of them still undetermined, but gender is a critically important core component of variance.

“…While the threat of the death of Mayan languages cannot be denied, a very different view of language ideologies in Guatemala might emerge from research in other communities where Mayan languages continue to be used in a wide range of social contexts. Indeed, the recent work of Maddox (2010) shows that the use of Maya is actually increasing in other parts of the Kaqchikel region. Because the subjects in French's research almost all insisted on conducting interviews in Spanish (despite valiant efforts on the part of researchers), there is very little attention given to the grammatical details of K’ichean languages.…”
