About this book
A Little Question in Ladies' Rights is a 1916 children's story by Parker Fillmore (1878-1944), the American writer best remembered for his retellings of Czech and Slovak folk tales. Before his folklore collections, Fillmore wrote light fiction about American childhood, and this short book presents a small girl's collision with the unequal rules governing boys and girls, treated with gentle comedy that glances at the suffrage-era debate over women's rights through a child's logic. The story belongs to the popular juvenile fiction of the 1910s that registered the changing position of women in American life. Fillmore worked as a teacher in the Philippines and a bank clerk before turning to writing full time. The book is a period piece of Progressive Era children's literature.
