Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book No Constitutional Right to Be Ladies written by Linda K. Kerber and published by Hill and Wang. This book was released on 1999-09-01 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This pioneering study redefines women's history in the United States by focusing on civic obligations rather than rights. Looking closely at thirty telling cases from the pages of American legal history, Kerber's analysis reaches from the Revolution, when married women did not have the same obligation as their husbands to be "patriots," up to the present, when men and women, regardless of their marital status, still have different obligations to serve in the Armed Forces. An original and compelling consideration of American law and culture, No Constitutional Right to Be Ladies emphasizes the dangers of excluding women from other civic responsibilities as well, such as loyalty oaths and jury duty. Exploring the lives of the plaintiffs, the strategies of the lawyers, and the decisions of the courts, Kerber offers readers a convincing argument for equal treatment under the law.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A History of Matrimonial Institutions" is a book based on the author's belief that a thorough understanding of the social evolution of any people must rest upon the broader experience of mankind and that the human family, in particular, with all that the word connotes, is commanding greater attention.

Download or read book From Bondage to Contract written by Amy Dru Stanley and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1998-11-13 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the era of slave emancipation no ideal of freedom had greater power than that of contract. The antislavery claim was that the negation of chattel status lay in the contracts of wage labor and marriage. Signifying self-ownership, volition, and reciprocal exchange among formally equal individuals, contract became the dominant metaphor for social relations and the very symbol of freedom. This 1999 book explores how a generation of American thinkers and reformers - abolitionists, former slaves, feminists, labor advocates, jurists, moralists, and social scientists - drew on contract to condemn the evils of chattel slavery as well as to measure the virtues of free society. Their arguments over the meaning of slavery and freedom were grounded in changing circumstances of labor and home life on both sides of the Mason-Dixon line. At the heart of these arguments lay the problem of defining which realms of self and social existence could be rendered market commodities and which could not.
