RAD GIRL CREATIONS - SISTERHOOD OF THE WANDERING UTERUS PIN

The word hysteria comes from the Greek word for uterus, hystera (ὑστέρα). Historically, hysteria was thought to manifest itself only in women (female hysteria) with symptoms including: anxiety, shortness of breath, fainting, insomnia, irritability, nervousness, as well as sexually forward behaviour and a "tendency to cause trouble for others".
It was believed that the uterus itself caused this female hysteria by moving around a woman's body putting pressure on other organs. Plato's dialogue Timaeuscompares a woman's uterus to a "living creature that wanders throughout a woman's body, blocking passages, obstructing breathing, and causing disease".
