From the New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal bestselling author of The Radium Girls comes another dark and dramatic but ultimately uplifting tale of a forgotten woman whose inspirational journey sparked lasting change for women's rights and exposed injustices that still resonate today.1860: As the clash between the states rolls slowly to a boil, Elizabeth Packard, housewife and mother of six, is facing her own battle. The enemy sits across the table and sleeps in the next room. Her husband of twenty-one years is plotting against her because he feels increasingly threatened―by Elizabeth's intellect, independence, and unwillingness to stifle her own thoughts. So Theophilus makes a plan to put his wife back in her place. One summer morning, he has her committed to an insane asylum.The horrific conditions inside the Illinois State Hospital in Jacksonville, Illinois, are overseen by Dr. Andrew McFarland, a man who will prove to be even more dangerous to Elizabeth than her traitorous husband. But most disturbing is that Elizabeth is not the only sane woman confined to the institution. There are many rational women on her ward who tell the same story: they've been committed not because they need medical treatment, but to keep them in line―conveniently labeled "crazy" so their voices are ignored.No one is willing to fight for their freedom and, disenfranchised both by gender and the stigma of their supposed madness, they cannot possibly fight for themselves. But Elizabeth is about to discover that the merit of losing everything is that you then have nothing to lose...Bestselling author Kate Moore brings her sparkling narrative voice to The Woman They Could Not Silence, an unputdownable story of the forgotten woman who courageously fought for her own freedom―and in so doing freed millions more. Elizabeth's refusal to be silenced and her ceaseless quest for justice not only challenged the medical science of the day, and led to a giant leap forward in human rights, it also showcased the most salutary lesson: sometimes, the greatest heroes we have are those inside ourselves."The glowing ghosts of the radium girls haunt us still."―NPR Books for The Radium GirlsProduct details<ul class="a-unordered-list a-nostyle a-vertical a-spacing-none detail-bullet-list"><li>Publisher ‏ : ‎ Sourcebooks</li><li>Language ‏ : ‎ English</li><li>Hardcover ‏ : ‎ 560 pages</li><li>ISBN-10 ‏ : ‎ 1492696722</li><li>ISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 978-1492696728</li><li>Item Weight ‏ : ‎ 1.76 pounds</li><li>Dimensions ‏ : ‎ 6.25 x 1.65 x 9.25 inches</li></ul>

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an eye-opening book into the plight of women and their lack of agency.  Imagining what it must be like to be committed to a mental health facility simply because a husband disagreed with the actions of a wife is not something I can comprehend.  This woman never gave up on being released, she never gave up on getting her children back, and she never gave up on trying to change the laws surrounding involuntary commitment.  With that said, it shined a light on the current circumstances women face in that we are losing our agency now with our inability to make decisions regarding body autonomy, the further marginalization of women regarding access to the election process, the elimination of diversity, equity and inclusion safeguards and programs, just to name a few.
