Female Suffrage Debate Reflections From Lexxr Das
A June 15 1887 letter to The Eagle argues female suffrage rests on constitutional opposition rather than prejudice. It contends most opponents would support voting if it benefited women, and that three main reasons—no desire to vote no need and lack of right—justify withholding the ballot. The writer rejects taxation without representation and praises heroic women while defending restraint in the suffrage debate.
