Legal status of women

The series consists mostly of research notes relating to women's legal status in 19th century Canada, especially pertaining to issues such as prostitution [sex work], abortion, infanticide, child custody and divorce. The series originally included photocopies of law reports, statutes, articles and archival material, acquired by Backhouse while conducting research [for "Petticoats and Prejudice: Women and Law in Nineteenth-Century Canada."]
