"Lemorne Versus Huell" by Elizabeth Stoddard is a feminist short story that took on the, at the time, controversial topic of women's rights to property in the eyes of the law. Written in a very abrupt and stark way, the book follows the courtship of the poor woman Margaret and her rich suitor Edward. These two lovebirds, however, are unable to live in bliss as they must concern themselves with a legal battle regarding the inheritance of Margaret's wealthy aunt.
