Marriage, As It Was, As It Is, And As It Should Be

""Marriage, As It Was, As It Is, And As It Should Be: A Plea For Reform"" is a book written by Annie Wood Besant in 1882. The book is a comprehensive study of the institution of marriage, exploring its historical origins, its current state, and the author's vision for its future. Besant argues that traditional marriages, which are based on patriarchal power structures and economic exchange, are outdated and harmful to both men and women. She advocates for a new model of marriage that is based on love, mutual respect, and equality. Besant also examines the legal and social implications of marriage, including issues such as divorce, adultery, and the rights of women. The book is a passionate call to action for reforming the institution of marriage and creating a more just and equitable society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
