New Book: Why Women MUST NOT Be Allowed To Vote
Today, you don’t have to be a man to vote in most countries.
But, many passionate people fought this every step of the way. Women should NOT be allowed to vote, they said.
If you’re not a man, you should know that campaigners wrote letters to the editor against giving you the right to vote. Journalists wrote dedicated articles. People protested in the streets!
They fought hard.
But, why?
I searched history records and academic literature to find out.
What I found shocked me.
Now, you’ll see the truth - including original letters to the editor that radiate raw hate.
You can expect these arguments to offer a reading experience that’s both amusing and deeply unsettling.
This is part of your history even if you’re outside Australia. After all, Australia’s early decisions to make some women eligible to vote contributed to earthquakes of agitation for suffrage world-wide.
This is a chance to reflect on how things happened in your country too. Were your community’s arguments against women’s rights to vote this venomous and patronising?
This publication offers a new avenue within the study and critique of the world’s suffragette movements. But, I urge you to wander down this avenue with caution. Some of this writing is dripping with hostility and loathing towards women.
So, brace yourself.
