Book Description
Excerpt from The Legal Status of Married Women in Massachusetts Ome time ago I was invited to address the Massachusetts Woman Suffrage As sociation upon the Legal Status of Married Women in Massachusetts, and the following paper was written for that purpose. I have since read it before several Associations of Women, and am now asked to allow it to be printed. In doing so, I wish to utter a word of cau tion. The paper does not pretend to be an. Exhaustive treatment of the subject, and, being written in a. Popular vein, is not intended to be used as a legal guide. It may, how ever, serve to call attention to the illogical condition of some branches of the law, and so lead to a change.

Book Description
Excerpt from Legal Condition of Women in Massachusetts, in 1886 This little tract was originally prepared in 1868. A revised edition was issued in 1870, containing notices of the changes in the laws relating to women which had been made since 1868. Statutes passed afterwards led to the publi cation of a third edition in 1875. Since that year, so extensive and important has been the legislation affecting women that a new edition is required. Very opportunely the legislature in 1882 issued the volume of Public Statutes intended to embody all statutes in force' up to that year. I have changed my original plan so far as to add references to the Public Statutes, which may be a convenience to some readers and will embarrass none. The object of the following pages is to present an outline of the law of Massachusetts affecting women, as distinguished from men, with occasional comments. And especially to point out how unfairly the dependent has been in past ages, and is at the present time, treated by the dominant sex, the vast improvement in the condition of the former made by recent legislation, and how much is still required by simple justice for its full relief. The law of this Commonwealth in this respect is so like that of most of the States, that a large part of what I write will apply to many of the others.

Book Description
Excerpt from Legal and Political Status of Women in Iowa: An Historical Account of the Rights of Women IN the preparation of this monograph the writer has attempted to present a general survey of the status of women in Iowa by pointing out the distinctions between men and women which have been established by law or sanctioned by judicial rulings. The status of women with reference to activities which are not regulated either directly or indirectly by the government is outside the scope of this monograph and is not discussed in these pages. Thus the position of women in religious and other similar organizations has not been considered since this does not concern their status as citizens. Furthermore, all laws of a general nature applying equally to men and women have received only incidental mention, although such laws are Often of vital importance to women. In this class belong the laws concerning public utilities, protection of life and property, public health, and municipal administration. Unless otherwise specified or plainly inapplicable to both sexes, Iowa statute laws governing civil rights and obligations may be assumed to apply equally to men and women. Laws concerning political matters, on the contrary, refer to male citizens only unless women are specifically included. In some cases it has seemed advisable to include a brief discussion of certain aspects of the status of women which show little or no legal discrimination against women. Thus the admission of women to the public schools, to institutions of higher education, and to the professions has been discussed, although the Iowa laws show but little difference between men and women in such matters. There are two reasons for including these subjects: first, because such privileges are largely furnished at the expense of the State; and secondly, be cause the equality which has prevailed in Iowa is by no means general throughout the United States and ought not to be taken for granted. Teaching has been included for the same reasons, and also because the teacher in State supported schools is in one sense a public official.

Book Description
Excerpt from Laws and Rights of Women in Texas The question now appears to me so complex that I should have re quested further time for preparation; it reminds me of an incident related by Mr. Rollin, the Historian He relates, that the King of Syracuse on a certain occasion, asked the Poet Simonides this question, What is God? The Poet requested a day in which to return his answer; on the morrow when the King sent for the reply, the Poet requested two days more; that being granted the King again sent for the reply, and the Poet requested four days in which to answer, and as often thereafter as the King sent for the answer, as often doubled the time; the King however became impatient, with the delay and sent for the Poet to appear before him and explain, this remarkable conduct; whereupon the Poet appearing before the King, justified, says, that he was forced to ask for such time, because he said the more he contemplated the subject the more obscure it seems.

Book Description
Excerpt from Woman and the Law: A Comparison of the Rights of Men and the Rights of Women Before the Law No one, except reviewers for newspapers, whose whole idea of a volume is drawn from this uncer tain source, ever reads a preface. It furnishes a cozy little nook into which the snugly ensconced author may hide and say just what he pleases, without danger of discovery. Anice little retreat it is, surely and the writer has slyly crept into this hiding-place just to talk it all over to him self. Shall the old and worn manuscript be ex changed for type? Will the volume bear the searching criticism of dear friends and respected acquaintances? Will the cause of human equal ity and the happiness of the race be advanced thereby? Will the distinguished leaders in the Woman's Suffrage Party shout in derision, or will they discover a co-working spirit? What will Mrs. Livermore, or Miss Dickinson, or Mrs. Stowe say about it, if a stray Copy should be placed in their laps by the newsboy, when there is nothing else to command their attention? What would those bright angels over there say. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Legal Rights, Liabilities and Duties of Women; With an Introductory History of Their Legal Condition in the Hebrew, Roman and Feudal Civil Systems The idea of the following work was suggested to me by ladies of distinguished intelligence and worth. So far as regards the plan, then, I may fairly claim to hold the sex responsible for its success. Not so, however, in respect to its very imperfect execution. The plan embraced more than could be brought within the limits of this volume; and it embraced a more suggestive and even a more practical form. It was intended to do, not only what has been done, but to have, also, some reflections on proposed amendments to existing laws, and some of the practical forms of business. The former, I have been obliged to limit to brief observations, scattered throughout the treatise, and the latter to omit altogether. There is room, however, on this subject, for another volume, and should this find favor with my intelligent countrywomen, it is intended to produce another, which shall be a sort of guide for them, in the every day business of life. The work as now published, consists of four parts. The first may be called, a History of the Civil Condition of Women. The second, is an Account of her Civil Eights, as a Citizen of the Republic. The third, gives the general principles of the Laws of Property, common to all citizens. The fourth contains the Eights, Liabilities and Duties of Women in the Domestic Relations. Of course, these subjects are briefly treated. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
