Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the deeply personal and societal consequences of denying women their basic rights. Through the author's own harrowing experience of wrongful imprisonment in a 19th-century insane asylum, it exposes the injustices faced by married women who dared to express independent thoughts and beliefs. The author's poignant narrative sheds light on the prevailing social fabric of the time, where the suppression of individual rights, particularly those of women, was not only tolerated but also legally sanctioned. This historical context serves as a backdrop for the author's exploration of themes such as freedom of conscience, religious intolerance, and the arbitrary nature of power. By challenging the notion of insanity as a crime rather than a misfortune, the author raises profound questions about the treatment of those deemed different or inconvenient. This book serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of individual liberty and the devastating effects of its denial.

Elizabeth Packard (1816-1897) was featured by National Women's History Museum: "After defending her sanity at trial in 1864, Packard campaigned to ensure the rights of the mentally ill as well as those of married women. She publicized the story of her hospitalization at the hands of her husband in order to prevent the abuse and neglect of others vulnerable before the law. Elizabeth Parsons Ware Packard was born in Ware, Massachusetts on December 28, 1816. Her father, Samuel Ware, was a Calvinist minister. Packard attended the Amherst Female Seminary, where she studied classics, literature, and mathematics. Her family took in boarders from Amherst College, including Henry Ward Beecher. Beecher would soon become one of the most popular preachers in the country. Beecher s inquisitive nature and his unorthodox religious teachings greatly influenced Packard. When Packard was 19, she suffered what was then termed brain fever : a condition characterized by a high fever, headaches, and delirium, among other symptoms. The recommended treatment included bleeding and purging. When her condition failed to improve right away, Packard s father committed her to an asylum in Worcester, Massachusetts. After six weeks, the asylum s superintendent declared Packard s health restored and released her. This experience contributed to Packard s mistrust of the medical system. She felt that her most troubling symptoms resulted from the treatments she received, rather than the original fever. To Packard, it was the passage of time, not the interventions of any physicians, that led to her recovery. In her later years, Packard lived in California with one of her sons and his wife. She and Theophilus never divorced, but lived separately for the rest of their lives. Packard passed away in 1897." Initially published in 1873 with 16 illustrations. This is an (assumed) second edition, with 8 plates. Claims to be Vol. I, but no other known volumes exist. FORN-SHELF-0599-BB-2408-HK1987. …
