From The Woman They Could Not Silence... What is the exact phrase Elizabeth Packard used to express something like: Ours is to act, the events are God's God controls events but people are to act I am listening to the audio book and it was said several times before Part 5 / Chapter 36. What is a quote from one of her writings?
Kate Moore
Hi Carol. Thank you for reading. The quote Elizabeth uses, almost as a refrain, is "Duties are ours, events God's." Warmest wishes, Kate

Mrs. Moore, I am writing a book report on "Radium Girls" for my AP VA/US History class, and I am supposed to include background information on the author. I have included the story of your inspiration for the work, as well as your history in book editing and publishing, but I would greatly appreciate it if you could enlighten me on some of your schooling, if that isn't too intrusive?

I loved The Radium Girls. Has to be one of the best books I've ever read. These women were incredible; what they went through and they continued to work and to deal with the legal system. I am unsure why there aren't documentaries on them. I was checking online and youtube when I was reading the book; trying to find something. These women should be more well-known than they are. Why?

Kate Moore:
No question, Kate. Just praise. This was such an insightful book. I didn't know what women faced in those times, and who, frankly, still face many of the same challenges. Congress has still yet to pass the ERA! In any case, thank you so much for letting us into the life of Elizabeth Packard. By the way, isn't Gabriel's Oboe from The Mission is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written?
