#Recommendsday This is the true story of #ElizabethPackard, who was committed by her pastor husband to an insane asylum in 1860 for being too independent-minded. But Elizabeth would persevere and win not just her freedom, but changes in the laws, benefiting all people deemed “insane” and most importantly, married women. This book is a testament to the power of one strong, energetic individual with a mission. Very relevant to our times!
