A powerful book about 19C Elizabeth Packard: forced into an “insane asylum” by her husband and separated from her five children with the collusion between her husband and the controlling institution director. It vividly portrays how she challenged the horrific institution staff, developed solidarity among the patients, fought back in the court system after discharge, and became an activist for mental health rights. #SheSaid #Nonfiction2025 #MeToo

I can‘t believe I managed 8 books considering one of them was a huge Stephen King. I even got a bingo. #bookspinbingo #JULYwrapup

The book description captured me, partly because of the ref to the #PussyRiots, which are part of the #Nonfiction2025 challenge, and mainly because of the idea of exploring the punk rock world behind the former Iron Curtain. However, while the writing is very good, I just couldn‘t stay with it. Too many deep dives into philosophy and theory, and not quite personal enough for me. Also, unless he loops back, the Pussy Riots are just peripheral.

The subtitle of We Still Here covers the main topics within: pandemic, policing, protest, and possibility. This book was published in 2020 and is organized in interviews format. The chapters Justice for “All” and Whose Violence? were especially powerful.
