Article by Janet Mary Riley, reprinted from Tulane Law Review, acting as a call to action on part of the Louisiana Legistator for equality amoung the sexes. Riley is especially concerened with the "Head and Master" rule and Louisiana's legislation in relation to other states and nations.

The “Head and Master” rule within Louisiana’s Civil Code gave the husband sole control over community property or, everything a husband and wife acquired while together. Janet Mary Riley spearheaded the cause to change the code for equal management and division for both partners.
