The Divorce Colony

This episode picks up where Episode193 left off. We suggest you listen to them in order.

Blanche Molineux visited her husband while he was in prison for murder to keep up what she called the “ghastly pretense.” But eventually, she couldn’t keep it up anymore, and bought a train ticket to a place called "The Divorce Colony."

April White’s book is TheDivorce Colony: How Women Revolutionized Marriage and Found Freedom on the American Frontier.
