Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Woman's Law Husband and wife sat in a long silence after his critical. The man's face was ghastly with fright. By degrees the woman's stunned gaze changed to one of questioning. "Why did you - kill him?" "Why?' repeated George Orcutt. "Was it - in self-defense?" There was an imploring cadence in quaver. "No," he groaned. "We were both in ugly temper - I was playing with the knife - I didn't intend - Then - somehow it was done - and he - was - at my feet, the knife in - his - heart. It is there now my knife with my name on the handle." Her shivering hands came to her eyes as though to shut out the thing he told her was "there." "And Earle and Adams knew we went to the studio together," continued the man despairingly. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

It is a general state ment and not an exhaustive analysis; it is not designed for the practising lawyer, man or woman, for though it deals with legal prin ciples, it does not apply them to concrete cases; and least of all is it an attempt to make every woman her own lawyer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Woman's Rights Under the Law: In Three Lectures, Delivered in Boston, January, 1861 There seems, at first sight, a certain presumption in offering to an American public, at this moment, any book which does not treat of the great interests which convulse and perplex the United States. But experience has shown, that neither the individual nor the national mind can remain continually upon the rack; and both author and publisher have thought that a book upon a serious subject, popa lar in form and low in price, would find, perhaps, a more hearty welcome, under present circum stances, than in those prosperous days, when ro manees and poems, travels and biographies, are scattered over every table by the score.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 excerpt: Excerpt from Woman Before the Law T is not attempted in the following pages to give a complete compendium of the law relating to mar ried women, so as to make it a work of reference it is hoped that the subject will be so presented as to give to intelligent readers outside of the legal pro fession a reliable summary 'of the law free from the usual technicalities. Still, the subject is so far treated in a legal point of view, as to afford, it is hoped, some assistance to the law-student. I have studiously avoided the part of a doctri naz'ra; Ihave only considered the law as it is; and have not introduced questions of a debatable charac ter upon which decisions differ. To carry out the subject properly, I was compelled to treat of the law pertaining to the married relation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Law of Woman Life The external arguments on both sides the modern woman question have been pretty thoroughly presented and well argued. It seems needless to repeat or recombine them; but in one relation they have scarcely been handled with any direct purpose. Justice and expediency have been the points insisted on or contested; these have not gone back far enough; they have not touched the central fact, to set it forth in its force and finality. The fact is original and inherent, behind and at the root of the entire matter, with all its complication and circumstance. We have to ask a question to which it is the answer, and whose answer is that of the whole doubt and dispute. What is the law of woman-life? What was she made woman for, and not man? Shall we look back to that old third chapter of Genesis? When mankind had taken the knowledge and power of good and evil into their own hands through the mere earthly wisdom of the serpent; when the woman had had her hasty outside way and lead, according to the story, and woe had come of it, - what was the sentence? And was it a penance, or a setting right, or a promise, or all three? The serpent was first dealt with. The narrow policy, the keen cunning, the little, immediate outlook, the expedient motive; all that was impersonated of temporary shift and outward prudence in mortal affairs, regardless of, or blind to, the everlasting issues; all, in short, that represented material and temporal interest as a rule and order, - and is not man's external administration upon the earth largely forced to be a legislation upon these principles and economies? - was disposed of with the few words, "I will put enmity between thee and the woman." Was this punishment, - as reflected upon the woman, - or the power of a grand retrieval for her? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The most fortunate of them have been cruelly obstructed by the large remainder of barbarism which exists in every community, and they have done their work in the teeth of every conceivable disadvantage. They have had to snatch it from a cross-fire of hostile circumstances. That they should have been able to exercise their rare talents at all, and so triumphantly, is a kind of miracle, at which we can but stand amazed. To avoid the risk of any possible misconstrue tion I shall offer here a short explanation of my locus standi as regards the whole subject in ques tion.

Download or read book Women and Law in Classical Greece written by Raphael Sealey and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2016-08-01 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on a sophisticated reading of legal evidence, this book offers a balanced assessment of the status of women in classical Greece. Raphael Sealey analyzes the rights of women in marriage, in the control of property, and in questions of inheritance. He advances the theory that the legal disabilities of Greek women occurred because they were prohibited from bearing arms. Sealey demonstrates that, with some local differences, there was a general uniformity in the legal treatment of women in the Greek cities. For Athens, the law of the family has been preserved in some detail in the scrupulous records of speeches delivered in lawsuits. These records show that Athenian women could testify, own property, and be tried for crime, but a male guardian had to administer their property and represent them at law. Gortyn allowed relatively more independence to the female than did Athens, and in Sparta, although women were allowed to have more than one husband, the laws were similar to those of Athens. Sealey's subsequent comparison of the law of these cities with Roman law throws into relief the common concepts and aims of Greek law of the family. Originally published in 1990.

This book was released on 2018-08-26 with total page 730 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on the Law of Husband and Wife The ground-work of the present volume on the law of Husband and Wife will be found in a treatise of some three hundred pages which the author's earlier work on the Domestic Relations contains. But when that treatise was written, the Married Women's Acts in England and America were a sort of first experiment or agitation; and since the second edition of the Domestic Relations not less than three thousand points have been decided, all tending to establish a mod ern jurisprudence concerning married women's rights, which decisions the author has examined while pre paring the present work, in addition to earlier author ities and various local codes. He has consequently expanded his subject, re-arranged his plan, and revised and re-written every topic, and the present work will be found essentially a new one, so far as relates espe cially to Promises to Marry, the Wife's Separate Pr0p erty under Equity and Recent Statutes, Transactions between Husband and Wife, Various Matters of Prac tice, and Separation and Divorce. A summary of the late Married Women's Acts in England and the United States will be found in the Appendix. No one can gain an intelligent comprehension of the rights and disabilities of the marriage union, as they exist to-day, without examining in order, (1) the old common-law or coverture doctrine; (2) the modifica tion of that doctrine by equity and recent legislation; (3) the latest local statute (judicially construed or not) which bears upon the particular point. To facilitate such an examination in due historical sequence is the main object of; the present work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
