The Woman They Could Not Silence: one woman, her incredible fight for freedom, and the men who tried to make her disappear by Kate Moore

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.
