Publisher's Synopsis
Modern Persecution V2: Or Married Woman�������s Liabilities is a book written by Elizabeth Parsons Ware Packard and published in 1873. The book explores the legal and social injustices faced by married women in the United States during the 19th century. Packard, who herself was committed to an insane asylum by her husband for disagreeing with his religious beliefs, provides firsthand accounts of the mistreatment and persecution suffered by women who challenged the patriarchal norms of their time. The book also delves into the legal system's failure to protect women's rights, particularly in cases of divorce and property ownership. Packard argues that women should have the same legal rights as men and should not be subject to the whims of their husbands. Modern Persecution V2: Or Married Woman�������s Liabilities is a powerful feminist critique of the legal and social systems of the 19th century and remains relevant to contemporary debates about gender equality and women's rights.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
