I feel like everyone needs to read this book. We owe so much to this woman. I am both inspired and buoyed by this woman and appalled and disgusted even further by weak men. The amount of research the author must’ve done is impressive, but even more so is the way she wrote this story.

challenging hopeful inspiring reflective medium-paced

4.5

This was such an inspiring book about inner strength and following what is right rather than what is easy. although I was aware how easy it was to committ women to insane asylum it was still shocking that there was no checks and balances. Even with all the work that has been done for women, human rights - there is much work still to do! The author used actual excerpt from diaries, letters, medical records etc to tell the story. It could have been very boring but it was not. The author wove the actual details with the narrative to tell a story that was engaging, and emotional.
