The city of Sioux Falls and the Cataract Hotel were once widely known as the nation’s premiere destinations for divorce. Author April White tells the story of daring 19th century women who moved west to shake the shackles of oppression. They braved tabloid coverage and disgrace as they demanded dignity and freedom. In the process, they changed how America understood women, men, and matrimony. We talk with the author of the new book “The Divorce Colony.”
