SOCIAL INJUSTICE IN 19TH
CENTURY
MS. E. CHOMA
A.
INTRODUCTION
Yet if you lived in
This was the
conception of the typical English woman.
The primary objection to woman suffrage is that it
would add an enormous army of unqualified voters to the huge mass of them already
voting. The primary argument in favor of it was that the standard of
qualification for voting was already so low that no possible influx of women
voters could lower it further, clearly a cynical viewpoint. As it is, our
voters are an instrument to play upon.
