AAUW: "The Woman They Could Not Silence"

Presented by Carol Ann Sackett

Learn about the powerful and untold true story of resilience, advocacy, and the fight for women's rights in The Woman They Could Not Silence” by acclaimed author Kate Moore. This gripping and meticulously researched narrative shines a light on the remarkable journey of Elizabeth Packard, a pioneering woman whose indomitable spirit challenged the confines of her time. In the mid-19th century, Elizabeth Packard found herself trapped in an unjust world, silenced by a society that deemed her opinions and intellect unworthy. Braving the confines of an oppressive mental asylum, Elizabeth defied all odds as she fought for her freedom and the rights of countless other women confined against their will.
