Eunice,

VERY interesting. Thanks for your comment and alerting me to this book.

I’ve read the review and was blown away that her battle to get her kids was in many respects easier than it is for many PAS mothers today. Claudine Dombrowski, for example, has been fighting for 14 years to protect her daughter Rikki. It’s pretty depressing that in 1818 Eunice Chapman was able to accomplish this feat in four years.

Today (Aug. 26) is the 90th anniversary of women’s suffrage. It doesn’t feel like we’ve come a “long way, baby.”

Women are STILL fighting for the same rights that started the women’s movement. And, if this biography is accurate, we’re in a worse place now than we were then.

Thank you, Eunice, for focusing me back on my mission. This would be an intriguing story to add to my collection of survivor stories. Hopefully, my local library will have a copy because the price ($25) is daunting.

Sending hugs,
Anne Caroline

Anne … I haven’t read Woo’s book yet. Just saw a review in last Sunday’s Post — The Washington Post. The review is titled “A marriage shaken apart.” Book is “THE GREAT DIVORCE: A Nineteenth-Century Mother’s Extraordinary Fight Against Her Husband, the Shakers, and Her Times” by Ilyon Woo. The reviewer is Elaine Showalter. Elaine finishes “…it is hard to say whether [Eunice's] victory was unbiased and honorable, let alone exemplary.” I would love to see, here, your review of Great Divorce. I think you would arrive at a conclusion very opposite from Elaine. And just imagine how much more a fighter like Eunice Chapman would have accompished in our electronic times?
