Elizabeth Packard…unsung hero

Read and be changed

Women’s stories are vast, and some are unforgettable, especially when the storytelling is powerful. 

Life-changing moments happen. 

I had one when I read “The Woman They Could Not Silence” by Kate Moore. 

When was your last life-changing moment? How did your life change? 

I just finished Kate Moore’s  “The Woman They Could Not Silence” by Kate Moore, about Elizabeth Packard in the 1860s and her mighty struggles during her life and incarceration in an insane asylum. 

Books that lead me to see the world in a new way are a rare find. 

What was the last book that did that for you, changed your perception of the world? 

I love a long book. When I found this one in the library's nonfiction section, I was unprepared for a thriller that read like one. Unputdownable, that’s how it’s described on the author’s page.

“Bestselling author Kate Moore brings her sparkling narrative voice to The Woman They Could Not Silence, an unputdownable story of the forgotten woman who courageously fought for her own freedom and freed millions more.”

Captivating in its historical descriptions

I was in. Don’t you love a book that inspires you to new heights? 

I devoured this 454-page book at a page-turning speed that cooled me off as I read the inflammatory and maddening description of Elizabeth Packard’s treatment during her adult life. 

Kate Moore checked many boxes with this full-length biography of a politically significant woman in the 1860s.

It’s wonderfully written. Kate Moore creates the world of the horrid conditions of women in insane asylums in the mid-nineteenth century. 

Ms. Moore’s writing is captivating, even about this extremely upsetting subject. 

This was the biography of a woman I needed to familiarize myself with. 

The story of Elizabeth Packard needs to be as familiar as those of Harriet Tubman or Susan B. Anthony. 

Thank you to Kate Moore for her exquisite writing style, which is truly unputdownable, and for all of the blood, sweat, and tears it must have taken to research Elizabeth Packard’s life thoroughly.  

What’s your story? Who are the main characters? What are the heartaches and goals? 

Trailblazer of legal reform for women

Well-written books can illuminate, educate, and inspire. You will know what it was like to walk a mile in Elizabeth Packard’s shoes after reading “The Woman They Could Not Silence.” 

Gift yourself the wisdom and compassion inherent in the life of a trailblazer who changed the lives of millions of women in 1860. 

The leader of women’s rights, Elizabeth Packard, may change your life, too. 

Elevate your energy

This book inspires me to be my best version, uplifting women aged 55 and over. 

I often think about you when I go to bed at night and in the morning (often during the night). 

My career goal is to help women take control of the reins of their health and create their best healthy lifestyle. 

Magnifying your energy is first in my mind. 

Someone recently asked me how long I want to work on my business daily. 

My response was, “All day, every day.”

Elizabeth Packard and Kate Moss are helping me focus all my energy on you. 

Ageless inspiration

A last quote from this not-soon-to-be-forgotten book is,  

“Unruly women are always witches, no matter what century we're in.”        Roxane Gay, 2015

How am I empowered after reading about Elizabeth Packard? 

I have enrolled in the Health & Wellness Coaching Program through Emory University’s Continuing Education Programs. 

For thirty years, I have befriended the green world to help heal myself and others. Through teaching, I have shown many people how to rely less heavily on Western medicine and more on natural, proven, reliable, and practical strategies to maintain optimal health. 

I look forward to expanding my training through a board-certified program and moving along the path of authentically powerful female healers.

Where will my research lead me? 

You’ll be with me as I explore and embrace the spiritual world of health and wisdom. 

Thanks to Kate Moore, I will read Elizabeth Packard's writings on resilience and socially forward efforts for all women. 

I can’t wait to share more with you.
