Liberal Philosophy:“Making change through
the government”
Difficult if you’re a woman because you
can’t vote!

Despite this, women led the progressive movement
WHY?Not content with traditional household role
Wanted to expand their roles in the community; participate in public life
Education armed them with modern ideas
Ready to tackle problems they saw in society

Ultimately… women’s suffrage relied on men!
WHY?

Who could pass suffrage laws??
Congress!(All male, except one
female rep from Montana)

Not all men were convinced women
should vote…… here are their
arguments

ReligiousSome biblical passages say men are the
heads of households and women should be submissive
at home, in church, and in
society

Historical/Tradition
women in the past did not have the
vote; granting them the vote now would
be a dangerous innovation
![Page 15: Progressive Movement](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56816071550346895dcf9833/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Naturalnature places women in the home; women
should not compete with
or in the “man’s
kingdom”

Biologicalwomen are
innately inferior, both mentally and physically;
voting would strain their biological
capabilities
![Page 17: Progressive Movement](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56816071550346895dcf9833/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Sexual
women naturally wish to be
dominated by men; therefore, suffragists are “man-haters”
![Page 18: Progressive Movement](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56816071550346895dcf9833/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
DomesticIf women vote, they won’t pay
attention to their
housework; who will care for the
men and children

Moralwomen are too
moral and ladylike for the rough world of politics; they are “angels of
the home”

Women Fight for the Right to Vote
Only way to make sure govt. would protect children, foster education, and support family life
Carrie Chapman Catt ~ “Two-front” tactic1. Pressure Congress to pass an amendment2. Use new referendum process to pass state suffrage laws
“Society Plan” ~ Recruit wealthy, educated women of all ethnicities
Alice Paul – public protests outside the White HouseMany women were arrested – hunger strikes
