Product Description
by Elizabeth Parsons Ware Packard (Author)
Modern Persecution V2: Or Married Woman�������s Liabilities is a book written by Elizabeth Parsons Ware Packard and published in 1873. The book is a continuation of Packard's previous work, Modern Persecution, and focuses on the legal and societal restrictions placed on married women at the time. Packard was a prominent advocate for women's rights and mental health reform, and she used her personal experiences of being involuntarily committed to a mental institution by her husband to shed light on the injustices faced by married women. In this book, Packard discusses the lack of legal rights and protections for married women, including their inability to own property, make financial decisions, or have custody of their children in the event of a divorce. She also explores the damaging effects of societal expectations and gender roles on women's mental health and well-being. Packard's writing is both informative and personal, drawing on her own experiences and those of other women to make a compelling case for the need for legal and social reform. Overall, Modern Persecution V2: Or Married Woman�������s Liabilities is an important historical document that sheds light on the struggles faced by women in the 19th century and the fight for gender equality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
