My Wife and I Harry Henderson's History Book

This charming novel is, in some respects, Harriet Beecher Stowe's most thoughtful and complete book. It is eminently a book for the times, giving the author's individual ideas about the much-vexed Woman Question, including marriage, divorce, suffrage, legislation, and all the rights claimed by the clamorous. The famed author of Uncle Tom's Cabin tells the story of Harry Henderson, "a plain Yankee boy from the mountains of New Hampshire" from birth to marriage as he learns to appreciate emancipated women. There are many illustrations of Henderson beset by female companions. "A capital story, in which fashionable follies are shown up, fast young ladies weighed in the balance and found wanting, and the value of true worth exhibited." - Portland Argus "Always bright, piquant, and entertaining, with an occasional touch of tenderness, strong because subtle, keen in sarcasm, full of womanly logic directed against unwomanly tendencies." - Boston Journal
