Female Suffrage

""Female Suffrage"" is a historical non-fiction book written by Susan Fenimore Cooper, which explores the struggle of women to gain the right to vote in the United States. The book delves into the early history of the women's suffrage movement, beginning with the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848, and follows the progression of the movement through the 19th and early 20th centuries.Cooper examines the key players in the suffrage movement, including Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Lucy Stone, as well as the opposition they faced from politicians, religious leaders, and society at large. She also explores the various strategies and tactics used by suffragists to gain support and push for change, including rallies, petitions, and civil disobedience.Throughout the book, Cooper highlights the role of women of color in the suffrage movement, including African American suffragists like Sojourner Truth and Ida B. Wells, and the challenges they faced in fighting for both suffrage and racial equality.Overall, ""Female Suffrage"" provides a comprehensive and insightful look into the women's suffrage movement in the United States, and the ongoing struggle for gender equality.An adventurous party among us, weary of the old paths, is now eagerly proclaiming theories and doctrines entirely novel on this important subject. The EMANCIPATION OF WOMAN is the name chosen by its advocates for this movement. They reject the idea of all subordination, even in the mildest form, with utter scorn. They claim for woman absolute social and political equality with man. And they seek to secure these points by conferring on the whole sex the right of the elective franchise, female suffrage being the first step in the unwieldy revolutions they aim at bringing about. These views are no longer confined to a small sect.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
