  • Summary

  • Throughout the Victorian era and into the 20th century, women throughout Europe and America were often sent to insane asylums for so-called hysteria. In this episode I'll tell you about the history involved, as well the tragic story of what happened to one woman who vanished from an asylum in Indianapolis.
