The Unexpurgated Case Against Woman Suffrage by Almroth Wright
"The Unexpurgated Case Against Woman Suffrage" by Sir Almroth E. Wright is a critical treatise addressing the woman's suffrage movement, likely written in the early 20th century. The author argues against the intellectual and moral grounds often cited in favor of granting women the right to vote and seeks to present a comprehensive case stating reasons why suffrage should not be extended to women. At the start of the work, Wright establisheshis intent to dissect the motivations of those advocating for women's suffrage and to critique the arguments presented by suffragists. He discusses the emotional influences and societal grievances that drive women's claims for suffrage, suggesting that these motivations are less about moral imperatives and more about personal dissatisfaction and resentment toward men. The opening sets the stage for a detailed examination of flaws in reasoning behind suffragist claims, positioning them as misguided, leading to a thorough critique of the notion that voting rights for women would positively impact society or government.
