A proto-feminist writing: Mary Abigail Dodge grew up in an upper-middle class New England household. She believed women ought to receive equal educational and employment oppportunities as men. She argued for a reduction in the expected domestic duties of a woman. Dodge was also an abolitionist and a supporter of the Civil War. However, she did not support women's suffrage. A complicated nineteenth-century reform text. A Very Good book with minor fading to the spine and the rear hinge tender (binding firm and secure); leaves show an occasional, small dog-ear.
