The Unexpurgated Case Against Woman Suffrage (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781161479850)

The Unexpurgated Case Against Woman Suffrage is a book written by Almroth E. Wright that presents a detailed argument against the idea of granting women the right to vote. Published in 1913, the book was written during a time when the suffrage movement was gaining momentum in the United States and other countries. Wright, a British physician and bacteriologist, uses scientific evidence and social analysis to support his position that women are not suited for the responsibilities of voting and participating in politics. He argues that women are biologically and psychologically inferior to men, and that their involvement in politics would lead to chaos and social disorder. The book is considered a controversial and divisive work, and its arguments have been widely criticized and discredited in modern times. However, it remains an important historical document that sheds light on the attitudes and beliefs of some segments of society towards women's rights and gender equality.The suffragist woman, when she is the kind of woman who piques herself upon her ethical impulses, will, even when she is intellectually very poorly equipped, and there is no imprint of altruism upon her life, assure you that nothing except the moral influence of woman, exerted through the legislation, which her practical mind would be capable of initiating, will ever avail to abate existing social evils, and to effect the moral redemption of the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
