Marilla Ricker (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162849355)

Marilla Ricker is a biography written by Elbert Hubbard that chronicles the life of Marilla Ricker, a pioneering feminist and lawyer in the United States. The book delves into Ricker's early years, including her upbringing in New Hampshire and her education at the University of Michigan Law School. It also explores her struggles as a female lawyer in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when women were often barred from practicing law. Despite facing discrimination and adversity, Ricker persevered and became a prominent figure in the women's suffrage movement. She also fought for other causes, including prison reform and animal rights. The book provides a detailed account of Ricker's legal battles, including her landmark case before the Supreme Court of New Hampshire, which established the right of women to practice law in the state. Throughout the book, Hubbard portrays Ricker as a fearless and determined woman who was ahead of her time. He also offers insights into the social and political climate of the era, shedding light on the challenges faced by women and minorities in the legal profession. Overall, Marilla Ricker is a compelling biography that celebrates the life and legacy of a remarkable woman who helped pave the way for future generations of female lawyers and activists.THIS 26 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: The Elect: Elbert Hubbard's Selected Writings Part 5, by Elbert Hubbard.
