Synopsis

This book examines the legal rights and duties of mothers and guardians in England from the time of the Norman Conquest to the late 19th century. The author explains how these rights and duties changed over time, and how they were shaped by the changing social, economic, and political landscape of England. The book also explores how the law affected the lives of individual mothers and children, and how it contributed to the development of the modern family. Through meticulous research and rich storytelling, the book illuminates the complex and often contradictory ways in which the English legal system has approached motherhood and childcare. Ultimately, this book deepens our understanding of the history of the family and the role of law in shaping the lives of women and children in England.
