Summary
This is widely acknowledged to be one of Norton's most important publications. Whilst the Queen did not reply (nor was she expected to) this crystallised Norton's views on the unfairness of the English legal system to women and, together with the writings of Barbara Leigh Smith (Bodichon), helped to change the climate of opinion.
