A Practical Illustration of Woman's Right to Labor

A Practical Illustration of Woman's Right to Labor is credited to Marie E. Zakrzewska. The head of the text describes the book as a letter from Marie E. Zakrzewska, M.D. Late of Berlin, Prussia, edited by Caroline H. Dall. The editor gratefully dedicates the volume to the Hon. Samuel E. Sewall, named as one of the best friends of The New-England Female Medical College.

A first-person statement in the text gives the object of the speaker's whole life as to inspire in women a desire for thorough training to some special end, and a willingness to share the training of men, both for specific and moral reasons. A first-person account tells of being summoned to the presence of Director Horn, who asked whether the teller knew that it was against the law to receive any other payment than that given by the hospital. A first-person account says that, after thus thoroughly impressing the public mind with the idea that the Infirmary must be opened, the tellers began to look about for a suitable house.
