For years, the MRM has been told women live under an oppressive patriarchy that denies them any power or influence. What did anti-suffragettes have to say about that? We’ll continue to investigate by reading through and responding to Joe C. Miller’s report “Never a fight of women against man: What the textbooks don’t say about women’s suffrage.”…
For the last few weeks, we’ve been examining the historical conflict between women over voting rights, by reading through and responding to Joe C. Miller’s report “Never a fight of women against man: What the textbooks don’t say about women’s suffrage.”…
Recently on HBR Talk, we’ve been learning about the dastardly patriarchal sons of bi… oh, uh, daughters. Yep, the information war over suffrage and who wanted it, or didn’t want it was women vs women. Last week, another important discussion took precedent, and one might crop up this week as well.…
