Asylums 2: Elizabeth Packard & the Fight for Married Women’s Rights
Elizabeth Packard has just come out of the fight of her life. She’d spent three years locked in an asylum that she had no power to get out of. Her spiteful husband had committed her and used every legal tool at his disposal to silence her powerful voice. And now, he had taken her children from her.
Elizabeth Packard was a fighter. And there was no way she was going to lay down for this fight for her children and for the rights of married women across the United States.

Inspired and inspiring
The stories of these driven and strong women are inspired! The depth of research that is behind each episode is impressive and the passion behind the storytelling is inspiring. I feel compelled to get out and swim or bike for no other reason than to carry the legacy of these incredible women forward! Thank you for bringing these fun and important stories back to life.
Fantastic
I love this podcast. She has a beautiful delivery of such well researched topics. I love the way she ties the stories together over a few episodes. Her ability to tell the empowering stories of smart mostly unknown women brings a bright light to the accomplishments of these talented women. I can’t wait for the next episodes!
