- Authors
Kaufman, Amy
- Abstract
There have been many books written about the legal status of women, but in England, they had all been written by men. That changed in 1854. That year, long before women had equal rights or could practice law, Barbara Leigh Smith Bodichon wrote A Brief Summary, in Plain Language, of the Most Important Laws Concerning Women. This article traces the book’s creation and considers its impact on law reform.
