The enemy sits across the table and sleeps in the next room. Her husband of twenty-one years is plotting against her because he feels increasingly threatened--by Elizabeth's intellect, independence, and unwillingness to stifle her own thoughts. So Theophilus makes a plan to put his wife back in her place. One summer morning, he has her committed to an insane asylum.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo 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.

Elizabeth's refusal to be silenced and her ceaseless quest for justice not only challenged the medical science of the day, and led to a giant leap forward in human rights, it also showcased the most salutary lesson: sometimes, the greatest heroes we have are those inside ourselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"\u003cem\u003eThe Woman They Could Not Silence\u003c\/em\u003e is a remarkable story of perseverance in an unjust and hostile world.\"--Susannah Cahalan, \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e bestselling author of \u003cem\u003eBrain on Fire\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 560\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.7 x 8.2 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 22, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51978565091629,"sku":"9781728242576","price":20.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/3185\/6429\/files\/eXJ5aGdvNTRpTEpnZ2dIRmdpcG0xQT09.webp?v=1775805847","url":"https:\/\/ishookbooks.com\/products\/the-woman-they-could-not-silence-the-shocking-story-of-a-woman-who-dared-to-fight-back-paperback","provider":"iShook Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
