Threatened by Elizabeth's intellect, independence, and outspokenness, her husband of twenty-one years is plotting against her and makes a plan to put her back in her place. One summer morning, he has her committed to an insane asylum. The horrific conditions inside the Illinois State Hospital in Jacksonville, Illinois, are overseen by Dr. Andrew McFarland, a man who will prove to be even more dangerous to Elizabeth than her traitorous husband. But most disturbing is that Elizabeth is not the only sane woman confined to the institution. There are many rational women on her ward who tell the same story: they've been committed not because they need medical treatment, but to keep them in line--conveniently labeled "crazy" so their voices are ignored. No one is willing to fight for their freedom, and disenfranchised both by gender and the stigma of their supposed madness, they cannot possibly fight for themselves. But Elizabeth is about to discover that the merit of losing everything is that you then have nothing to lose..."--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 303.48409 Packard Mo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 303.48409 Packard Mo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Biography B Packard Moore Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 303.48409 Packard Mo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult Biography B Packard Mo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Biography B Packard Mo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Koloa P/S Library Adult Biography B Packard Mo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Liliha Public Library Adult Fiction Moore Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 303.48409 Packard Mo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library Adult Biography B Packard Mo Checked In Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
