Injustice to Women In
Present Laws Of
Pennsylvania
By CAROLINE L. COCCNS, Presi.
dent Of the Woman Suffrage
Society Of Philadelphia

THERE are those opposed to the
further extension Of democ-
racy who assert that women
are already privileged citizens un-
der the law.
Perhaps the most conspicuous
and farreaching example of the so
called tenderness of the law" to-
ward woman is in its regulation of
her rights as to her own real estate.
IN PENNSYLVANIA A MAR
RIED WOMAN CANNOT MAKE
A VALID DEED TO HER OWN
LAND UNLESS 1T IS SIGNED
BY HER HUSBAND AS WELL
AS HERSELF.
Take the case of a single woman
who owns two lots of land. On the
first day of the month she sells one
Of these and conveys it, Of course,
by deed bearing her own sigma
ture. The next day she marries.
On the third day she sells and seeks
to convey the other of her lots.
THE LAW HOLDS THAT THE
DEED MADE BY HER WHILE SIN.
GLE IS VALID AND BINDING, BUT
THAT UPON HER MARRIAGE SHE
BECAME INCAPABLE OF MAKING
SUCH A CONTRACT.
