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.…
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. This week, we’ll continue looking at this historical conflict between women by continuing to read through and respond to Joe C.…
We’re told feminism has always been about equality. We’ve looked at the early actions and some of the early writing of feminists which showed otherwise, but what about the direct statements of the suffragettes at the Seneca Falls Convention?

We learned that physical evidence in the bones of men and women indicated that historically, women’s arms endured much more mechanical loading than women of today, and the average woman likely had arms stronger...
Show notes In discussing the history of male suffrage and its link to the history of male military obligation, I realized there’s an aspect of this history we’re not talking about.
