Listen "Wrongfully Institutionalized"
Episode Synopsis
When women inconvenience society, they're called crazy. Today, we look at some ladies who were actually institutionalized for speaking their minds. First, Amy tells us about the Irish writer Rosina Bulwer Lytton, who forgot to divorce her husband before bad-mouthing him. Shelby discusses Elizabeth Packard, who dared to think differently from her husband and eventually became an advocate for the rights of women and people perceived as insane.
