Summary

Imagine a world where women are property. Where they have no rights — not even to defend themselves against abuse or to claim ownership over their minds…to declare, for instance, that they are not insane. That they shouldn’t be held prisoner in an insane asylum because they disagreed with their husband. That horrifying world you imagined? You're living in it. Of the countless women who’ve gone before you, Elizabeth Packard stands out as one who fought for the oppressed and the voiceless, for her relentless faith, and for freedom. Her true, daring story has been dug from history, and you need to hear it. Because the impact of her life is still echoing today. I interviewed award-winning author and champion of women, Kate Moore, to learn more about The Woman They Could Not Silence. I was on the edge of my seat, and you will be too. The Recap: - How the weapon of Elizabeth’s betrayal is still often used to this day (#MeToo, anyone?) - Why the worst thing was the best thing (when you’ve got nothing to lose, you’re especially brave) - The strange and incredible way Kate stumbled upon Elizabeth’s story - The power of hindsight (100 years later, her legacy is only expanding) - How writing played a critical part in keeping Elizabeth sane Listen or download the transcript at flyingfreenow.com/161 FREE: I'll send you the first chapter of my book, Is It Me?
