As she sees the horrors of the conditions the hospital is kept in, she realizes that there are other rationally sane women that have been wrongfully committed like her.  No one is willing to fight for their freedom, and disenfranchised both by gender and the stigma of their supposed madness, they cannot possibly fight for themselves. But Elizabeth discovers that the merit of losing everything is that you then have nothing to lose. Copies are available for pickup at the Land O Lakes library.
