This is an old revision of the document!
One of the first major discrepancies Bly brings up is the institutionalization of Louise Schanz, who did not speak or understand English. By this note, Schanz had no reasonable way to protest her conditions without an interpreter, which doesn’t seem to be something Blackwell’s island would do. Was this common? -RJD
Bly’s understanding becomes increasingly clear that public institutions were not up to par with consistent standards of care. For example, her request for a nightgown is answered with blame on the institution being “charity.” Was the aforementioned experience consistent among most public institutions? -RJD
