[Women's Property Rights] [Cutler, Hannah, Frances Gage and Elizabeth Jones] Mr Key, from the Committee on Women's RightsBiblio.com

A Bill Concerning the Rights and Liabilities of Married Women

18615555Columbus Ohio: Richard Nevins 1861. First edition. Bifolium slip bill printing measuring 330 x195mm and complete in 3 pages. Lower blank portion of conjugate leaf trimmed; some splitting along fold lines. Early pencil annotations throughout. Slip bills such as this with widely spaced numbered lines were designed for in-session discussion debate and annotation; and they were printed exclusively for the use of delegates. Therefore few survive. Unrecorded in OCLC with no other known copies noted the present is perhaps the only extant recording of the proposals that would be refined into the final version of the law later that year. Ten years earlier during the height of her work for abolition Jane Elizabeth Jones spoke before the Ohio Women's Convention in Salem to connect that movement with the fight for women's rights: "We should demand our recognition as equal members of the human family.as human beings; and when this point is established the term 'woman's rights' will become obsolete" Ohio History. Highlighting Black Americans' and women's humanity was crucial to her work. And in 1861 alongside reformers Frances Gage and Hannah Cutler she would continue to push this message even further. Speaking to the Ohio legislature regarding women's property rights she called upon Senators "to imagine themselves with the legal rights of women" -- to confront the terrible realities of being a human "whose property and wages became their husbands' at marriage" as did even their own bodies Broad Movements. An electrifying orator Jones managed to get a sufficient number of men to support the cause during that session. The result was the present bill. While differences exist between the text of this slip bill and the final legislation the impact was massive for the women of Ohio. And it was a bellwether for women across the US who were clamouring for equality. In its final state the "1861 law declared that any real estate that a woman had acquired before or during the marriage was her separate property and under her sole control. She could collect the rents and profits. She could contract to manage her real estate.The 1861 law also declared that a woman's personal property including wages acquired before and during marriage was now her separate property and under her sole control regardless of divorce" Little. While it would take another 26 years for women to achieve full property rights with the passage of the Married Women's Property Act in 1887 the present efforts constituted a victory -- at least for white women. For Black and Indigenous women the laws did not significantly budge and they found fewer white allies than would be hoped given the movement's basis in "common humanity." An important piece of U.S. Midwestern and Ohio legal and gender history further comparative research could be done between the terms of the bill as drafted and its final iteration as well as to the extent it offered a model for continued efforts within the women's rights movement's varied organizations.

Original wrappers bound in. EXTRA-ILLUSTRATED WITH 25 PLATES including steel engravings copperplates etchings a mezzotint and a woodcut all depicting people and events from the text. Front flyleaf with morocco bookplate of Frank Deering; original front wrapper with ink presentation inscription: "Mr. Wm. B. Trask / with the regards of / the Author." Text leaves with light even toning occasional faint offsetting from plates or tissue guards one plate with mild foxing otherwise a lovely copy the text and plates clean and fresh and THE HANDSOME BINDING LUSTROUS AND UNWORN. This short overview of the life of the Elizabethan courtier and explorer is most attractively bound and extra-illustrated with portraits of Raleigh Queen Elizabeth Francis Drake and other members of the court as well as friends and rivals of the book's subject along with a view of the Tower of London where he was imprisoned the battle with the Spanish Armada and the famous scene in which Raleigh gallantly placed his cloak over a puddle for the queen to cross. The text is an anomaly in the writings of antiquarian and genealogist Samuel Drake 1798-1875 who wrote primarily about early New England including several accounts of Indian captivities. Drake presented this copy in its original wrapper to his fellow editor at the "New-England Historical & Genealogical Register and Antiquarian Journal" William Trask. The book was later extra-illustrated and elegantly bound for distinguished Maine collector Frank Deering 1866-1939 by the Rose Bindery in Boston a firm that catered to bibliophiles. Around the turn of the 20th century Boston was home to a number of hand binderies formed as part of the American embrace of the Arts & Crafts Movement. Hoping to stand out from the competition the Rose Bindery did not advertise but published a small booklet outlining the services they offered for "the owners of libraries but more especially of rare volumes first editions unique books that require new bindings or where the present binding should be repaired so as to preserve or restore its original character and beauty." The booklet also explained the bindery's creative approach: "It has been truly said that a great deal more thought should be put into what is left out of the design than to what is put into it; dignity and character should always be uppermost in the mind of the designer." Our binding embodies this philosophy with restrained and elegant tooling with an unusual curling leaf tool thoughtfully deployed. Deering was head of a lumber company and also served in his state's legislature. History was his main area of interest and his library contained an impressive collection of early Americana. According to his obituary in the journal of the American Antiquarian Society "One of the prominent features of his library was the almost complete collection which he gathered of Indian narratives and captivities in which field his collection was un-rivalled in the country." It seems likely he knew of Samuel Drake due to their shared interest in this topic. The special treatment he commissioned for this book adds greatly to its allure as does the pristine condition of the binding. Printed for the Author for private distribution unknown

The document discusses the horrors of enslavementâ€”even unfavorably comparing the British coloniesâ€™ conditions with those in the USâ€”and decries the fact that after the 1807 Slave Trade Act essentially nothing more had been done to put â€œan end to a condition of society which so grievously outrages every feeling of humanityâ€.
