Description

Although other historians have viewed the suffrage movement as aimed at exclusively political ends, the author argues that such a categorization ignores many of the most compelling reasons why thousands of middle and upper-class women risked ostracism, obloquy, and, often, physical harm in the pursuit of the right to vote and why their efforts met with such intense opposition. The alliance of "respectable" middle-class women with prostitutes, the attack on marriage, and the suffragists' distrust of the medical profession are among the topics addressed. Drawing on hypotheses advanced by Michel Foucault, the author asserts that feminists sought no less than the total transformation of the lives of women. Originally published in 1987. Sorry!
