"Legal Status of Women in Iowa" by Jennie L. Wilson is a book from the late 1800s that explains the laws affecting women in Iowa, particularly regarding marriage, divorce, and property. The author stresses how important it is for women to know their legal rights, especially when it comes to marriage and owning property, because the old common laws often put women in a weaker position than their husbands. It begins by introducing how the common law used to control married women’s lives, and then promises to go into detail about marriage, property, guardianship, and divorce, showing why these laws need to be changed.
