Woman Before The Law is a book written by John Proffatt in 1872. The book explores the legal status of women during the 19th century and their lack of rights in society. Proffatt discusses the various laws and regulations that were in place at the time, which prevented women from owning property, voting, and pursuing certain professions. He also examines the social and cultural attitudes towards women, which perpetuated their inequality and subordination. Through his analysis, Proffatt argues for the need to reform the legal system and grant women equal rights under the law. The book is a significant contribution to the history of women's rights and has influenced feminist movements throughout the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
