Women and the Law in Kentucky Then and Now
A Philadelphia Record column cites Rev Edward Everett Hall on women’s suffrage and legal gains in Kentucky. It notes the old common law barred a wife from selling property without her husband’s consent, while he could punish or control her earnings. a Louisville judge’s divorce ruling declares the common law abolished, leaving the wife financially independent and the husband largely dependent on her.
