Book Synopsis Elizabeth Packard by : Linda V. Carlisle
Download or read book Elizabeth Packard written by Linda V. Carlisle and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2010-11-15 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elizabeth Packard's story is one of courage and accomplishment in the face of injustice and heartbreak. In 1860, her husband, a strong-willed Calvinist minister, committed her to an Illinois insane asylum in an effort to protect their six children and his church from what he considered her heretical religious ideas. Upon her release three years later (as her husband sought to return her to an asylum), Packard obtained a jury trial and was declared sane. Before the trial ended, however, her husband sold their home and left for Massachusetts with their young children and her personal property. His actions were perfectly legal under Illinois and Massachusetts law; Packard had no legal recourse by which to recover her children and property. This experience in the legal system, along with her experience as an asylum patient, launched Packard into a career as an advocate for the civil rights of married women and the mentally ill. She wrote numerous books and lobbied legislatures literally from coast to coast advocating more stringent commitment laws, protections for the rights of asylum patients, and laws to give married women equal rights in matters of child custody, property, and earnings. Despite strong opposition from the psychiatric community, Packard's laws were passed in state after state, with lasting impact on commitment and care of the mentally ill in the United States. Packard's life demonstrates how dissonant streams of American social and intellectual history led to conflict between the freethinking Packard, her Calvinist husband, her asylum doctor, and America's fledgling psychiatric profession. It is this conflict--along with her personal battle to transcend the stigma of insanity and regain custody of her children--that makes Elizabeth Packard's story both forceful and compelling.

Draper presents “storytelling at its finest” (School Library Journal, starred review) in this New York Times bestselling Depression-era novel about a young girl who must learn to be brave in the face of violent prejudice when the Ku Klux Klan reappears in her segregated southern town. Stella lives in the segregated South—in Bumblebee, North Carolina, to be exact about it. Some stores she can go into. Some stores she can’t. Some folks are right pleasant. Others are a lot less so. To Stella, it sort of evens out, and heck, the Klan hasn’t bothered them for years. But one late night, later than she should ever be up, much less wandering around outside, Stella and her little brother see something they’re never supposed to see, something that is the first flicker of change to come, unwelcome change by any stretch of the imagination. As Stella’s community—her world—is upended, she decides to fight fire with fire. And she learns that ashes don’t necessarily signify an end.
Book Synopsis The Private War of Mrs. Packard by : Barbara Sapinsley
Download or read book The Private War of Mrs. Packard written by Barbara Sapinsley and published by Paragon House Publishers. This book was released on 1991 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Committed to an insane asylum by her husband, a Calvinist minister, for arguing questions of dogma, Mrs. Elizabeth Packard's life was transformed from a nineteenth-century wife to a crusading reformer and pioneer feminist. Her plight illustrated the insecurity with which married women lived in an era when husbands could declare wives insane and commit them at whim. Three years after her incarceration and after a dramatic trial she was declared sane. Abandoned and left destitute by her husband, Mrs. Packard poured her energies into reforming the laws that had so ill-treated her. She wrote books, gave lectures and traveled to thirty-one states, lobbying for legislative reforms and challenging psychiatric thinking. She was directly or indirectly responsible for legal changes that made it unlawful in the United States to institutionalize any person without judicial approval and brought about many changes in attitudes toward the mentally ill. By the time she died in 1897, Mrs. Packard had achieved national and international prominence. Here is a dramatic social and cultural history of the time. Mrs. Packard's life will serve as a beacon to today's women and a revelation of what a woman's life was like a century ago. Reconstructed from Mrs. Packard's own writings, her husband's journals, newspapers, legal and medical records, plus an extensive cache of family letters and photographs, this is the untold story of one woman who made a difference. - Jacket flap.

Download or read book I'm Down written by Mishna Wolff and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2009-05-26 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mishna Wolff grew up in a poor black neighborhood with her single father, a white man who truly believed he was black. “He strutted around with a short perm, a Cosby-esqe sweater, gold chains and a Kangol—telling jokes like Redd Fox, and giving advice like Jesse Jackson. You couldn’t tell my father he was white. Believe me, I tried,” writes Wolff. And so from early childhood on, her father began his crusade to make his white daughter Down. Unfortunately, Mishna didn’t quite fit in with the neighborhood kids: she couldn’t dance, she couldn’t sing, she couldn’t double dutch and she was the worst player on her all-black basketball team. She was shy, uncool and painfully white. And yet when she was suddenly sent to a rich white school, she found she was too “black” to fit in with her white classmates. I’m Down is a hip, hysterical and at the same time beautiful memoir that will have you howling with laughter, recommending it to friends and questioning what it means to be black and white in America.
