Resolutions on Women’s Right to Vote in Parliament
A Dublin Journal excerpt reproduces a 1740 assembly debate imagining female parliamentary suffrage. It rails at length against proposals for women voters and endorses male-only elections, while jesting about courtship, privilege, bribery, and foreign alliances as consequences. The piece closes with obituaries and notices from the period and a list of proclaimed robbers.
