emotional informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

This book was incredibly powerful. Elizabeth Packard was a truly inspiring woman who persevered through unbelievable odds to fight for what she believed was right, not only for herself but for all women. She was intelligent, determined, and charismatic. I honestly don’t know that I would have had the strength to carry on as she did with everything that stood before her. 

I feel like this book is a must read for everyone. Kate Moore is so talented and does a phenomenal job pulling the reader into this story. It was powerful and profound, while also highlighting the many frustrations and injustices that existed for women of Elizabeth’s time. She moved mountains when she was told it couldn’t be done and I am honored to have read her story.
