Women’s Suffrage

Women’s Suffrage in 1920s In the Women’s Suffrage Movement, writer Alice Ouer Miller had wrote; Why we don’t want men to vote: -Because man’s place is in the army -Because no really manly man wants to settle any question otherwise than fighting about it. -Because if men should adopt peaceable methods women will no longer hook up to them. -Because men will lose their charm if they step out of their natural sphere and interest themselves in other matters than feats of arms, uniforms, and drums. -Because men are too emotional to vote. Their conduct at baseball games and political conventions shows this, while their innate tendency to appeal to force renders them unfit for government. When men were out to war, the women had to take their places in factories and other working sites. Women were not people when it came to jobs, politics, property, and voting. But women were people when it came to criminal charges and jail time. It had stated in the Canadian Law that “No women, idiot, lunatic, or criminal shall vote”. Married women were not allowed to own property. Women were the property of their husbands.
