In the 1800s, being declared "Incurably Insane" was the easiest way to get out of an asylum... but when you're a perfectly sane woman who has her own thoughts and opinions, goals and motivation, that's exactly what you were: Incurably Insane. Declared such, Elizabeth Packard used her new freedom from the asylum to change legislation and claim human rights for those dubbed insane -- for those those who were and those who weren't. Her life work is still known in US Legislation as Packard's Law.
