Women's Suffrage and National Danger


Book Description

Excerpt from Women's Suffrage and National Danger: A Plea for the Ascendency of Man Possibly it is now rather late in the history of the Women's Suffrage movement for the appearance of a treatise upon the subject. Yet I cannot but think that, great as is the bulk of the literature wherein the arguments of those who favour the movement are set forth, the comprehensive exposition of those reasons which may be fairly suggested as justifying opposition has been comparatively neglected. Notwithstanding the brilliant speeches which have been delivered by some of those who have in Parliament resisted the claims on behalf of women, so complete has been the omission to systematise and aggressively circulate the leading outlines of their case, that I very much doubt whether the majority of judicially-minded citizens are sufficiently in possession of them.

Journal of a Lady of Quality


Book Description

Alexander and Janet Schaw, Scottish siblings, began a journey in 1774 that would take them from Edinburgh to the Caribbean Islands and then to America. Part of the early wave of Scottish colonization, the pair visited family and friends who had already established themselves in the colonies. ""Journal of a Lady of Quality"" is Janet Schaw's account of this voyage through letters to a friend in Scotland. The letters describe the sights, scenery, and social life she encountered, but they also reveal the political atmosphere of an America on the verge of revolution. Stephen Carl Arch provides a new introduction for this Bison Books edition.
