DYK some 19thC men, such as #JohnStuartMill (d.1873), #HenryBlackwell (d.1909), & #RobertDaleOwen (d.1877) yielded #coverture through prenuptial contracts w/their wives. But their documents had no legal weight. The men were merely making contracts w/themselves.

Until the 20thC #WomanRights activism, duties to the husband shaped the wife. Supporting the wife & demanding duties from her shaped the husband. Ghosts of #WmnHist still haunt. HowSexGotScrewedUp.com #coverture #WmnHist

DYK #coverture survived throughout the 19thC western world? In 1897, a court of appeals in Toulouse concluded that forcing most women to submit to the will of their husbands made them happy.

DYK a 19thC wife was a “feme covert”. Her marriage suspended her legal existence. Under #coverture, her husband “covered” her for that. He owned her. Women’s rights activist Lucy Stone (d.1893) put it this way in a letter in 1849:

DYK in 19thC marriage, a woman & her children belonged to her master just as a slave & her children belonged to theirs? #Coverture was the rule. Only a “feme sole”—spinster, widow, divorcée—could own property & make contracts on her own. Ghosts of #WmnHist still haunt.

#Coverture is when the legal identity of a woman is subsumed by her husband. This was an actual legal argument in the U.S. based on old #Biblical beliefs. There are influential #Evangelical and #mainline pastors who want us to return to this

DYK #EdithWharton’s 1905 “House of Mirth” described the destruction an upper-class woman w/o property, such as Lily Bart, might meet if she did not marry into her class? By 1920, modern marriage was more about love than #dowry. Yet in 1923, a NJ court upheld #coverture.

1st edition of Mary Shelley's #Frankenstein auctioned for $843,750.
Did you know that 1st ed. of book didn't list an author, and because of #coverture #women couldn't own property or #money, so all income went to husband?

"Do give up and Surrender...all our Rights of Dower." I saw a little clutch of dower relinquishments last week at RIHS and wrote a tidbit abt them. #Coverture still so understudied. #VastEarlyAmerica https://karinwulf.com/tidbits/a-widows-dower/
