Title The Woman They Could Not Silence: One Woman, Her Incredible Fight for Freedom, and the Men who Tried to Make Her Disappear Author Kate Moore Location Other Rating Recommended Book Review This very well written book is a thorough history of Elizabeth Packard, a housewife who was unjustly sent to an insane asylum in 1860. She advocated for herself and for her fellow patients, many of whom were also sane. The book follows her life very closely, and is clearly well researched. It was a bit long, and pretty heavy at times. Submitted By Laura Neis Department or Major Business College Status Staff Chapman Email lneis@chapman.edu
