In Lock Her Up, Tina Parker gives voice to the women from the not too distant past who were not allowed to make decisions about their own bodies and mental health. In this thought-provoking collection, Parker brings to life three characters and highlights their stories through poems and research. We grow in care and concern about Mattie M. Roberts, Rachel Wells and Emma Darby and are able to relate to their struggles and circumstances. Lock Her Up is a deeply moving book and Accents Publishing is proud to bring it to you.
