Wright: The Unexpurgated Case Against Women Suffrage

Wright argues that allowing females to succeed with the womens’ suffrage movement would put them on equal terms with men and have a great negative impact on society.


Women do not represent the physical force in society

If women were permitted to rule over men in society, society would lose its military spirit and plunge into losing battles with other countries


Women have intellectual defects

Women have a very unreal picture of the real world

Women have all sorts of misconceptions about themselves


Women are morally defective

“One would not be far from the truth if they alleged that there are no good women, but only women who have lived under the influence of good men.”


Excess population of females in England: 3 million


There may be sexual complications when women begin to work alongside men


Woman’s position would be compromised

Men would no longer feel an obligation to care for their women economically

Loss of chivalry
