14 was NOT a normal age for women to get married then. Not the average age. It was looked down on. Stanford white groomed her and her story is so sad. I love Evelyn. Stanford white WAS a pdf file however his granddaughter tries to justify it

idc what people say. If people thought it was 'right' back then, the whole point was to take advantage of the child before she learns human rights. Im sure people back then have thought to themselves and have chosen not to agree. No excuses.

Nothing on the museum is actually from the USA, everything is from other countries that actually have culture.
