About this book
Women's legal position is traced from the time of Augustus to the early twentieth century, with special attention to England and the United States, in this study by Eugene A. Hecker. Early chapters take up women under Roman law, where the contents note guardianship, marriage, property, divorce and education, and then under the early Christian Church and canon law.
Hecker cites his sources and admits he writes as an advocate of the cause. For the American chapter he drew on the History of Woman Suffrage, edited by Susan B. Anthony and Ida H. Harper, and he tabulates the laws of the states. The second edition adds a chapter on the contest for equal suffrage.
