O knihe
Caroline Norton was an English author and social reformer. After Norton left her husband in 1836, he sued her friend and Prime Minister Lord Melbourne for adultery. Though the claim was thrown out of court, Norton was denied a divorce and access to her children. In response to this, Norton campaigned vehemently, which eventually led to the passing of the Custody of Infants Act 1839, the Matrimonial Causes Act 1857, and the Married Women's Property Act 1870. This volume contains a letter sent by Norton to Queen Victoria of England in 1856, petitioning the queen to help expedite Lord Chancellor Cranworth's Marriage and Divorce Bill which would furnish women with more rights within marriage.
