Appropriate for women's studies, history, and political science courses dealing with gender politics and the history of women's rights. This text presents theoretical and historical sources focusing on a single issue, the struggle for women's suffrage. It explores women's nature and discusses how different views of women's nature have direct implications concerning public policies.

  • Includes substantial selections from anti-suffrage sources These readings are important because they:

    • The only text to feature an in-depth debate on one of the most important issue of the Women's Movement: the right to vote.

    • Are not widely available and are not included in any other collection of readings.

    • Provide both sides of the debate, allowing students to see how the debates developed andhow arguments were presented.

    • Enable students to trace the practical implications of widely different conceptions of women's nature.

  • Presents historical and theoretical sources, including substantial selections from the important theoretical works of J.S. Mill and Mary Wolstonecraft.
  • Includes sources from both the U.S. and Britain.
  • Narrow focus allows one to follow different lines of argument directed at a single issue, as opposed to a set of widely different debates, as are common in most other collections.
  • Selections present clear accounts of different conceptions of women's nature and their practical implications providing historical, as well as, theoretical insights.
