Marriage - As It Was, As It Is, and As It Should Be

Focusing on women's marital rights, the pamphlet critiques 19th-century British marriage laws that treated women as property. Annie Besant argues for legal reforms to ensure equality between genders, presenting ideas that remain relevant today, particularly regarding shared parenting after divorce. Despite its 1879 publication, her insights resonate with contemporary discussions on marriage and gender rights. Besant, a prominent activist and writer, authored over three hundred works, and this edition includes a new biography highlighting her contributions.
