Appeal of One Half of the Human Race, Women, Against the Pretensions of the Other Half, Men, to Retain Them in Political, and Hence in Civil and Domestic, Slavery by William Thompson

This treatise challenges the reduction of woman to an "involuntary breeding machine and household slave" who was subject to man's "pernicious despotism" and of a male legislature who was no more inclined to consult the interests of women "than the interests of bullocks were consulted in the police regulations that preceded and follow their slaughter". It is ironic that this indignant attack on unequal representation for women should not bear the name of its female "co-author".

William E. (William E.) Thompson works at Texas A&M University-Commerce as a sociology and criminal justice professor. He currently resides in Royse City, Texas.
