COJ #140 - A Cup of Resilience With Author Kate Moore: Unearthing The Unstoppable Voice & Inspiring Life of Elizabeth Packard

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell welcome author Kate Moore to discuss her book "The Woman They Could Not Silence," which chronicles Elizabeth Packard's journey being held captive within an insane asylum in the 1860’s.   Inspired by the #MeToo movement, Moore aimed to explore the historical silencing of women labeled as "mad." She found Packard's story in a University of Wisconsin essay and was captivated by her insanity trial. Packard, a 19th-century mother of six, was institutionalized by her husband for asserting her independence. Moore highlights Packard's resilience, her literary talents, and her crowdfunding efforts to publish her memoirs. The book's detailed research includes historical documents and personal accounts, emphasizing Packard's impact and the ongoing struggle against women's silencing.
