About This Item

[Women Employment] Lucy Wilson. "Women and Legislation." Vigilance Association for the Defence of Personal Rights. June 20, 1874. Original paper wrappers. 4 pages. First edition. 8 1/2 x 5 in. A Letter addressed to the Editors of the Leeds Mercury. "These measures all point to one conclusion, that motherhood is a crime. The woman who is guilty of it, unless...she is rich and independent, shall not eat bread for six months thereafter, or twelve, as the House may determine." In this open letter, Wilson decries legislation which would forbid new mothers from working, yet fails to provide any public assistance for them to care for their families. "No Act has been passed decreeing that such women shall not suffer cold or hunger, or to 'deem that they commit an offence' if they are hungry." Vigilance Association for the Defence of Personal Rights was a British organization dedicated to watching, restraining, and influencing legislation especially in matters affecting the interests of women, and the personal rights and liberties of the people. Small losses along spine. Very good condition.

For over 30 years, we have served a clientele of collectors, private institutions, universities, and public libraries in acquisition and collection development.

We pride ourselves on the ability to track down the rarest and most interesting material for our client's collections.
