Important Early Pamphlet of 1878 on Mother’s Rights and Women’s Property
Pamphlet
"The Hon. Mrs. Norton and Married Women." By Arthur Arnold. The Married Women’s Property Committee. Manchester A. Ireland and Co., Printers, 1878. 15 pages. 7 x 5 in. Vertical fold down center with creasing, some losses, and adhesive at edge from previous binding. Light toning. This pamphlet outlines the struggles that women faced on their road towards greater autonomy. Her husband withheld access to their sons from her, as children were legally considered their father’s property; her advocacy for mother’s rights influenced legislation in the succeeding two Married Women’s Property Acts (of 1870 and 1882). The pamphlet acknowledges the role of her advocacy towards the passage of the 1870 act.Item #16241
