Item Details

Description

(WOMEN'S HISTORY.) Julia E. Smith. Abby Smith and Her Cows, with a Report of the Law Case Decided Contrary to Law. Full-page woodcut on page [2]. 94 pages. 8vo, publisher's printed wrappers, minor wear; minimal dampstaining on top edge. Hartford, CT, 1877 Julia Evelina Smith (1792-1886) and her sister Abby Hadassah Smith sued the town of Glastonbury, CT when it attempted to levy a tax directed at single and widowed women. They argued that, because they could not vote, the town's assessment constituted taxation without representation. The town responded by auctioning the sisters' beloved cows to pay the debt.
Julia Smith is best known for publishing the first translation of the Bible by a woman, in 1876. A full-page advertisement for her Bible appears on the inner wrapper of this pamphlet.
