“Property Rights of Women in America: A Historical Perspective” – By Carol Cooke Darrow

Presentation:

In the beginning women owned nothing. They were under the control of fathers and then husbands. Royalty owned all land and granted it to men who did them service. Transferring that process to the wild frontier on the American continent forced changes in the customs and eventually laws of land ownership.
