That said, Wow. What a book. How is it that Elizabeth Packard is not a household name? She was extraordinary. Committed to an insane asylum because her husband found her outspokenness troublesome, she worked for three years to be freed, then worked the rest of her life to achieve equality for women, safety for mental patients, and the right of a mother to have custody of her children.
The author relies on diaries, letters, newspapers, and trial transcripts. Everything she writes has been thoroughly researched. Her work here is exceptional.
Having found Radium Girls equally important, I hope that Kate Moore continues to write. Her works are essential to understanding the history of the ordinary American in the late 18th - early 19th centuries.

Her doctor gatekeeps her in an asylum for years.
She girlbosses her way out.
Jokes aside, I really loved this book and preferred it to Radium Girls by miles. Moore’s biggest downfall is that she simply can’t seem to cut things out of her books, but despite the length, my attention was held the entire time. The story was so human and compassionate, and the kindness of its protagonist gave my heart sympathetic little flutters throughout.
