In the past, women were generally forced into marriage for economic security. In a world where the “welfare state” did not exist, a woman’s best chance at survival was to marry, and to marry well. But as soon as she married, the woman’s rights, independence and even identity - thus, the Mrs Dean Jackson title - were surpassed by the will of her husband’s, who became her legal guardian in every way.
