The origins of women's rights

Prior to 1800, women in most countries were unable to vote, had no say over their own children or property, and could not obtain a divorce. Over the course of the last two centuries, women have gradually gained rights in many areas of life, and this legal expansion has been closely intertwined with economic development. To understand the drivers behind reform, this column examines women’s and men’s economic incentives for supporting or opposing rights. The authors find that economic development can increase the benefits of women’s rights and can thus trigger reforms.
