Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a riveting analysis of the Infant Custody Bill, a proposed 19th-century legislation that sought to challenge the absolute power fathers had over their children, even in cases of separation where the mother was blameless. Exploring the heated debates surrounding the bill, the author sheds light on the stark inequalities women faced under the law at the time. The book delves into the arguments presented by both opponents and proponents of the bill, examining the complexities of paternal rights, maternal claims, and the broader implications for gender roles within Victorian society. The author's insightful exploration of the legal, social, and emotional landscape of the era provides a valuable contribution to our understanding of the historical struggle for women's rights and the ongoing quest for gender equality.
