Essays on Social Topics. A complete run of the radical reformer's opinionated pamphlets. Claflin and her sister Victoria Woodhull were key figures in American first-wave feminism as advocates for women's education, employment, and free love. Claflin here tackles topics such as "Should the poor marry?", the "Ideal Woman", and "Are We Polygamists?".True pioneers of the women's movement, Claflin (1846-1923) and Woodhull (1838-1927) were the first women to run a Wall Street brokerage, among the earliest to found a newspaper in America, and, in Woodhull's case, the first woman to run for President of the United States. These pamphlets were written during the latter section of Claflin's life, after she relocated to London and married Francis Cook, becoming the marchioness of Montserrat.The pamphlets were collected and published in book form in 1898.
