Mabel was a ‘‘remarkably handsome’ young girl trapped in a cycle of domestic violence and societal expectations, but she yearned for a better life (13). Newspapers reported that she was “free in her general behavior” refusing even to wear a corset which definately defied standards of the day (47).

Good news for those scammed out of money by the University of Phoenix during 2012 to 2016.
Sometimes there really are no words. As I do research for other things, publications in a newspaper move me, and I had to create a publication just to keep them separate to the rest of my work.
In 1916, some religious sects around the country were teaching their children that the world is flat. In certain areas, the state intervened. This article is not meant to be commentary on the right to have religious views, only on the fact that I had no idea this was a thing until researching a true crime article for Internet Archaeology.
