Summary

In a series of seven chapters, Saunders undertakes an examination of the legal status of women in the United States concerning the property rights of married women--including intestate estates and the right to support, divorce, child custody, rape and the age of consent, female criminality, and woman suffrage. Each chapter contains a brief overview, followed by a state-by state analysis of women's status. Also contains some interesting tables.
