The Divorce Colony

This episode picks up where Episode 193 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 The Divorce Colony: How Women Revolutionized
Marriage and Found Freedom on the American Frontier. Take our
