A short history of women´s rights by Eugene A. Hecker

doubted. To such I have given the exact references

whenever they have

been used. In preparing the chapter on the progress of

women's lights in

the United States I derived great assistance from the

very exhaustive

_History of Woman Suffrage_, edited by Miss Susan B.

Anthony, Mrs. Ida

H. Harper, and others to whose unselfish labours we are

for ever

indebted. From their volumes I have drawn freely; but I

have not given

each specific reference.

The tabulation of the laws of the several States which I

have given

naturally cannot be entirely adequate, because the laws

are being

changed constantly. It is often difficult to procure the

latest revised

statutes. However, these laws are recent enough to

illustrate the

evolution of women's rights.

Finally, this volume was written in no hope that all

readers would agree

with the author, who is zealous in his cause. His

purpose will be gained

if he induces the reader to reflect for himself on the

problem in the

light of its historical development.
