Dorothy Dix asks:
“Is Your Wife Worth 10%?”

It is a lamentable fact that, under the existing laws, many women are better off financially when they are divorced or when their husbands are dead than at any other period of their married life. There is something drastically wrong with the social system when such a state of affairs is allowed to exist.
