Letter To The Queen On Lord Chancellor Cranworth's Marriage And Divorce Bill (1855)

A Letter To The Queen On Lord Chancellor Cranworth�������s Marriage And Divorce Bill (1855) is a book written by Caroline Sheridan Norton. The book is a letter addressed to the Queen of England, in which Norton expresses her concerns about the Marriage and Divorce Bill proposed by Lord Chancellor Cranworth. The bill aimed to reform the laws of marriage and divorce in England, but Norton argues that it would have negative consequences for women. She argues that the bill would make it easier for men to obtain a divorce, but would make it much more difficult for women to do so. Norton also argues that the bill would give men more power over their wives, and would make it easier for them to commit adultery without facing consequences. The book is a powerful critique of the proposed bill, and a call to action for women's rights. It is an important historical document that sheds light on the struggles of women in the 19th century, and the fight for gender equality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the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.
