1 Traditional Role of Women National American Women Suffrage Association
Women’s Suffrage Patriarchal Society Limited Rights Traditional Role of Women Susan B. Anthony National American Women Suffrage Association World War I 19th Amendment What were some of the shortcomings of the 19th Amendment? Below is an editorial from the Hearst Newspaper by Arthur Brisbane titled, “Why Women Should Vote.” Although undated, it was probably written in 1917. “When women shall vote, the political influence of the good men in this community will be greatly increased. Men can deceive each other much more easily than they can deceive women—the latter being provided with the x-ray of intuitional perception. The blustering politician, preaching what he does not practice, may hold forth on the street corner or in a saloon, and influence the votes of others as worthless as himself. But among women his home life will more than offset his political influence. The bad husband may occasionally get the vote of a deluded or frightened wife, but he will surely lose the votes of the wives and daughters next door. Voting by women will improve humanity, because IT WILL COMPEL MEN TO SEEK AND EARN THE APPROVAL OF WOMEN.” What arguments does Brisbane make to give women the vote?
