Édouard Laboulaye's approach consists of examining, for each period, the status of women first within their father's family, then within their husband's family, and finally as citizens of their respective states. The penetrating nature of the author's analysis, and in particular his profound knowledge of customary law and how it was either extended or, conversely, overturned by the Napoleonic codification, makes this text a work that remains relevant even today. It is striking, however, to note that while the author was sensitive to the evolution of women's civil status, he remained opposed to the idea of ​​equal rights in political matters.
