First published in 1777, The Laws Respecting Women as they Regard their Natural Rights is an extraordinary piece of writing reflecting the changing attitudes toward the rights of women. The Countess of Bristol, who was herself a victim of the law's unfairness toward women, uses case studies to illustrate how these laws detrimentally impacted marriages, families, and society as a whole.
