Welcome back to Unholy Ground with Andra Watkins and Sam Osterhout [ mailto:

As a refresher, coverture is a legal doctrine from English and American common law that treated a married woman’s legal identity as “covered” by her husband’s. In other words, once a woman gets married, she stops being a person. That might be oversimplifying it, but not by much.
It sounds like something from old English literature, but it’s making a sharp comeback.
