Overview

Woman's Rights Under the Law presents three lectures delivered in Boston in January 1861 by Caroline Wells Healey Dall, a prominent 19th-century feminist, transcendentalist, and social reformer. These lectures offer a compelling snapshot of the legal status of women in antebellum America, exploring the myriad ways in which the law constrained women's autonomy and opportunities. Dall examines the legal framework surrounding marriage, property rights, and civic participation, advocating for significant reforms to achieve gender equality. Dall's insightful analysis provides valuable historical context for understanding the early women's rights movement and the ongoing struggle for full legal and social equality. This edition makes Dall's important work accessible to a new generation of readers interested in women's history, legal studies, and the history of feminist thought.
