Rethinking The History Of English Feminism: The Suffragists’ Neutral Position On Education Reform And The Repeal Of The Contagious Diseases Acts, 1850-1886
Authors : Benamer Hamza . Sahli Fatiha .
Abstract
This study aims to assert that the women’s suffrage movement in nineteenth-century Britain does not merit the increasingly scholarly attention it received from historians of the post-1850 feminist movement. While it is true that the suffrage advocates made much effort to enfranchise women, they were, however, entirely absent from the wider feminist campaigns for girls’ education and the reform of laws on prostitution. So, it might be inferred that the ‘Woman Question’ was not solely confined to the struggle for gaining women the right to vote, but it spoke fundamental questions revolving around the abolition of sex discrimination and the assertion of women’s right to education.
