Marital Power Exemplified In Mrs. Packard's Trial And Self-Defense From The Charge Of Insanity: Or Three Years' Imprisonment For Religious Belief, By The Arbitrary Will Of A Husband (1870) is a book written by Elizabeth Parsons Ware Packard. The book is a memoir of Packard's experience of being falsely accused of insanity by her husband, who had her committed to an asylum for three years. Packard's husband did this because he disagreed with her religious beliefs and wanted to gain control over her and their children. The book describes Packard's struggle to prove her sanity and regain her freedom. It also highlights the injustices faced by women in the 19th century who were subject to the arbitrary power of their husbands. Packard's story is a powerful example of the ways in which women's rights were restricted in the past and the importance of fighting against such oppression. Overall, Marital Power Exemplified In Mrs. Packard's Trial And Self-Defense From The Charge Of Insanity is an insightful and inspiring book that sheds light on the challenges faced by women in the past and the importance of standing up for one's beliefs and rights. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in women's history and the struggle for gender equality.With An Appeal To The Government To So Change The Laws As To Afford Legal Protection To Married Women.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
