Dit boek beoogt duidelijke en overzichtelijke informatie te verschaffen aan mensen die kiezen voor ouderschap buiten huwelijk. Centraal staat de juridische positie van het buiten huwelijk geboren kind ten opzichte van zijn of haar ouder(s) of de partner van de ouder. Tevens wordt, zij het summier, aandacht besteed aan de rechtsverhouding tussen partners onderling. Door kort aan te geven wat de gevolgen zijn van huwelijk en echtscheiding in verband met kinderen en op welke punten een niet-huwelijkse relatie daarvan afwijkt, wordt de juridische informatie gegeven die mede noodzakelijk is voor de beslissing wel of niet te trouwen.

"Augusta Jane Evans Wilson (1835-1909) was one of the nineteenth-century America's most popular novelists and outspoken supporters of the Confederacy. Her nine novels include the recently reissued Beulah, the stridently pro-Confederate Macaria, and the extremely successful St. Elmo, which rivaled Uncle Tom's Cabin and Ben-Hur in sales. In addition to writing best-selling books, Wilson was a powerful letter-writer whose correspondents included prominent Confederate leaders. Wilson's epistles, 112 of which are gathered in this volume, reveal the depth of her ambitions for herself and the Confederacy. They also offer a clear view into the world of a southern woman immersed in war, writing, and the bitterness of military defeat.". "Wilson worked hard to place herself at the center of action during the Civil War and after the surrender assiduously maintained her correspondence with prominent people of her day. In addition to writing Confederate propaganda, her wartime activities included an extended correspondence with General P. T. G. Beauregard and Confederate congressmen Jabez L. M. Curry. In her letters Wilson reviews battle plans and military policy, offers political advice, and illumines the hardships suffered by southerners. Her correspondence portrays her as an assertive, well-educated woman who addressed powerful men on equal terms and only occasionally lapsed into traditional feminine deference. Of equal interest, the volume includes Wilson's writings to friends, publishers, fans, and family members. Wilson's working correspondence with her editors and myriad admirers captures her views on the purposes of fiction, the trials of publishing during the war, and the difficulties of combining career and family."--BOOK JACKET.
