The Select Committee reports on married womens property included in this set provide an insight into the social conditions of the working-class woman in the east end of London, Liverpool, Nottingham, Belfast and Dublin. The papers also stress the influence of American legislation dealing with married womens property. The report on the Matrimonial Causes Court is particularly interesting as it gives a concise history of marriage legislation in England from before the Reformation to 1853.
