Excerpt from Woman and the Law His work is designed to serve the pur poses of a general view of the legal con dition of the women of the United States at the present time, and is more especially for the reading of women. It is a general state ment and not an exhaustive analysis; it is not designed for the practising lawyer, man or woman, for though it deals with legal prin ciples, it does not apply them to concrete cases; and least of all is it an attempt to make every woman her own lawyer.
