“Women opposed women’s suffrage in surprisingly large numbers and for a variety of reasons, often to do with concerns that votes for women would lead to votes for everyone. In other words, it was better to go without a vote than to open the doors to mass democracy and an end to the dominance of a white, landed elite.”

“Meaningful, creative work was the birthright of both women and men, they believed. In a pair of essays published in the journal Christendom in response to a special issue on “the emancipated woman,” DLS and Muriel made that case forcefully. They spent a summer writing back and forth to each other and to the magazine’s editor, working out their ideas about why it was so damaging to limit any human being to a narrow set of gendered characteristics.”
