Historically, the 1970's are associated with the women's movement, and generally it is assumed that women gained some rights that they never had before. Perhaps it’s time to reconsider this assumption says author Keller. The truth is that women were not gaining their rights, they were regaining their rights to some extent, because the Feminist Movement is not inclusive.
Keller's research has led her to believe that the advent of Christianity led to the loss of rights for women on the European continent. The interpretation of the Christian doctrine enabled the church to deliver a punishing blow to women for centuries.
A second study in the book offers an analysis and some comparisons of the writings of four authors regarding women's rights in Great Britain and France centered on the issue of prostitution. Keller examines prostitution from both the legal and moral aspects of Victorian London and Paris.
A third study examines the life of Dr. Mary Edwards Walker, her quest for women's rights, and more specifically her contributions as a surgeon during the American Civil War.
