THE
HISTORY
OF THE
CONDITION OF WOMEN,
IN VARIOUS AGES AND NATIONS.

BY
MRS. D. L. CHILD,
AUTHOR OF “MOTHER’S BOOK,” “FRUGAL HOUSEWIFE,” ETC.

I am a slave, a favored slave

At best, to share his splendor, and seem very blest;

When weary of these fleeting charms and me,

There yawns the sack, and yonder rolls the sea.

What! am I then a toy for dotard’s play,

To wear but till the gilding frets away?—Byron’s Corsair.
