I want to re-introduce this subject to you because I think our society is forgetting all what women have been through to even have what is allowed us now.
...(Our) society severely challenged women's efforts to enter public
life. Through the 1890s, "scientific" reports were being
released which showed that too much education could seriously
hurt the female reproductive system. In 1905 former president
Grover Cleveland wrote in the Ladies' Home Journal that female
voting would upset "a natural equilibrium so nicely adjusted to
the attributes and limitations of both [men and women] that it
cannot be disturbed without social confusion and peril." In
retaliation, women set out to show that rather than disrupt the
social order, woman suffrage would instead maintain it.
Bringing their "natural" roles as mothers and nurturers into
the public arena, women would be able to impose a kind of
"civic housekeeping" upon the competitive and corrupt (male)
state.
