There gradually grew up in Eng
land a tendency on the part of the
law makers to relieve women from

contracts, and convey real estate as
if unmarried. Statutes Of a similar
character were adopted in New
Hampshire. Virginia, Tenn, Ken
lucky. and Michigan before 1850;
and a very comprehensive law was
adopted in 1848 by New York state
which gave married women the
