The struggle for legal reform of rights accorded to married women in England has been primarily an effort to overcome the common law doctrine of couverture. Under this concept, married women could not own property, had no standing in court, were not liable for con- tracts and torts, and could not sue for divorce. This book is a chronicle of the progress of change in English public pol- icy toward the status of women in the family. Since the mid-nineteenth century Parliament has substantially altered laws concerning women's rights and respon- sibilities in marriage. These reforms came about through determined efforts of several generations of English feminists. The events leading to these changes are presented in a conceptual framework that focuses on conflict reso- lution within the political process. The study highlights the changing rela- tionship between feminist politics and British political processes. 24 NORTH WABASH/SUITE 939/CHICAGO, ILLINOIS 60602/(312) 372-5811 Volume 2 Number 1
