Today’s assignment: Was novel reading a reason for admitting women into an asylum in the 1800s?

Using the first ‘move’ of your Fact Checking Moves – check for previous work – a very quick reverse image search found that Snopes had an article with the image. http://www.snopes.com/reasons-admission-insane-asylum-1800s/

Thanks – enjoying this.
Excellent!
