The succeeding pages contain all of the information covered in the first volume, together with additional data, comment and simple and adaptable forms. The first edition went out to women with the endorsement of Olive Stott Gabriel, then president of the Women Lawyers' Association, and of Mary Wood, chairman of legislation of the General Federation of Women's Clubs. The New York Times said of it: As the first attempt to present in a single volume the status of woman in the United States under the Federal and the State laws, Mrs. Bres's book has unique value and interest. . Her digest and discussion of the present legal status of women in this country is scholarly and readable and makes a worth-while addition to feminist literature. 5 6811 |
