Description

"This book ... is an expoloration [sic] of nineteenth-century social and ideological conflict over the appropriate roles for American women in marriage, in the economy, and in the political life of the nation. It is the story of legal changes forged grudgingly, slowly, and in bits and pieces, and of legal continuities sustained in subltle, complex and powerful ways." -- p. 10.
