Debate on Woman Suffrage in the Senate of the United States, by Various
"Debate on Woman Suffrage in the Senate of the United States" by Various is a historical account of discussions regarding women's right to vote, focusing on debates held in the Senate during the late 19th century. This collection of arguments and viewpoints was produced around the late 19th century and captures a pivotal moment in the struggle for women's suffrage. The primary topic revolves around the proposed constitutional amendment aimed at grantingwomen the right to vote, highlighting arguments for and against this proposal from various senators. The opening of the work sets the stage for this significant legislative discourse. It begins with a formal introduction of the joint resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution to extend suffrage to women, followed by Senator H.W. Blair's speech advocating for its consideration. The text presents his compelling argument, which asserts that the principle of democracy hinges on the representation and consent of all citizens, and specifically challenges the notion that women are adequately represented by men. The debate unfolds further with other senators contributing their perspectives, both in favor of and against suffrage, thereby illustrating the complex dynamics of gender roles, societal norms, and the political landscape of the time. This opening establishes not only the central issue of women's suffrage but also introduces the earnest and passionate arguments that characterized this historic debate.
