Caroline Norton's Defense: English Laws for Women in the 19th Century
By Caroline Norton.
Description
This account of the author's experience at the hands of an "imperfect state of law" in early 19th-century England makes a passionate plea for equal justice for women. Largely as a result of this book the passage of the Married Women's Property Act and reform of the English Marriage and Divorce Laws occurred some years later. - from Amzon
