The Law of England as it Affects Men and Women
Leaflet issued by the Male Electors' League for Women's Suffrage offering a comparison between 'The Law of England as it affects Men and Women'. Printed on both sides the leaflet compares the legal and constitutional rights of both men and women in two columns headed 'men' and 'women'. The leaflet reinforces the injustice of sexual inequality and concludes 'is it not time that this immoral favouritism of the male sex should cease and that men and women should stand equal before the law.'
The Male Electors' League for Women's Suffrage was founded before mid-1897 by Ben Elmy, the partner of Elizabeth Wolstenholme. From 1904 the organisation was run by their son Frank Wolstenholme-Elmy whose contact details on the printed on the reverse of the leaflet, copies of which could be purchased from his address in Congleton.
