Join us as we talk with Kate Moore, a New York Times Bestselling Author about her new book, The Woman They Could Not Silence: One Woman, Her Incredible Fight for Freedom, and the Men Who Tried to Make Her Disappear. This is a narrative, non-fiction page-turner about Elizabeth Packard who was a housewife and mother of six in 1860, when her husband of 21 years has her committed to an insane asylum solely because she has differing religious beliefs. It's a fascinating story of one woman's battle to change the system and laws concerning coverture, the treatment of those with mental illness, and women's rights. Author Kate Moore is a natural storyteller and we loved talking with her about this book, but also the history of women's rights in America from the 1860s to present.
