Should a married woman — 



Be absolutely dependent upon her husband financially? 

 Has she a right to a portion of his income legally set 

 aside in her name in return for the part she bears in 

 the home? 



Should she be helpless to prevent her husband from 

 mortgaging home and lands when she does not approve 

 of the expenditures ? 



Is the bearing of children a duty when she is never 

 considered and never given a voice in affairs which are 

 mutually vital? 



These are some of the problems which are solved in 



1M Wind Before the Dawn 



By DELL H. MUNGER 



This is the epic of Kansas. It is also the epic of the farmer's wife, and of the 

 new order which is to make her an independent partner instead of a household 

 slave. It tells the story of a girl, young, vigorous, happy in spite of miserable 

 home conditions and the frightful hardships of the prairie pioneers. You live 

 through it all with her, never losing courage, or the view ahead, under the 

 promise of her fresh youthful ardor. She marries the man she loves, and then 

 comes her real problem, owing to the fact that her husband, John Hunter, de- 

 velops the customary attitude of considering his wife after all somewhat as a 

 necessary piece of farm machinery. A surprising and dramatic situation arises 

 after the coming to their home of young Noland; and the tangled lives straighten 

 out finally in a climax which is very dramatic. The real value of the book is 

 that it rings true in every line. It comes straight from the heart of a woman 

 who feels deeply the injustice and crippling done to such women as those she 

 pictures; and as a woman reader puts it, "it makes the real sort of appeal for 

 the true essentials for happiness in marriage."
