Man's Rights; Or, How Would You Like It?

Annie Denton Cridge (1825-1875) was a British-American author, lecturer, socialist reformer, suffragist and spiritualist. Born Annie Denton in England in 1825, she and her brother William emigrated to America in the 1840s, where she married Alfred Cridge. She published an autobiography - My Souls Thraldom and Its Deliverance (1856) - and wrote articles for several magazines. However, she is most well known for her suffragist work, Mans Rights; or, How Would You Like It? (1870) which presents a satirical utopian dream, where the gender roles have been reversed and women are anything but submissive.
