The Woman They Could Not Silence

I liked this book and I realize that the scope was relatively narrow in that it really focused on Elizabeth Packard's experience of a somewhat forgotten progressive and political force. I do wish the author had been more clear that the advances she made for women's rights were great but also relatively narrowly focused on white, straight, cis, able-bodied, and middle-class women. The postscript does say that some of these issues are still plaguing women today and using suffragettes and Nancy Pelosi as examples. But still, it's missing the plight of a lot of actually mentally ill women, women of color, non-Christian women, and not middle-class women. Just something to keep in mind.
