Synopsis

SUB-TITLE: The Ideas of the English-Canadian Suffragists, 1877-1918. SYNOPSIS: Liberation Deferred? forms part on an on-going debate on the nature of "first-wave feminism" - the turn-of-the-century woman suffrage movement. Historians have at times castigated the women of this movement for accepting and reinforcing traditional sex-role stereotypes for women. More recently, emphasis has been placed on their solid contribution to female liberation as they extended woman's domain from the domestic to the public sphere. This book goes behind the rhetoric and politicking, to analyse the basis of the ideology of the men and women who campaigned for female enfranchisement. It focuses upon the English-speaking suffragists, looks briefly at the history of the suffrage societies, and traces their other reform affiliations in an attempt to discover who they were and why they wanted women to vote. Bacchi finds that they belonged to an Anglo-Saxon, Protestant, well-educated elite and shared, in spite of such other diverse interests as prohibition and civic reform, a common aim: to slow down the pace of social change and reinstate Christian values in society. They felt that female enfranchisement would both add good Christian women to the electorate and double the family's representation. Unwilling to challenge the values and institutions which they perceived as necessary to social order, they limited their demands to the area of "public housekeeping". Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
