The Leaders of the Woman Suffrage Movement in the Southern States
Focusing on eleven of the movement's most prominent leaders at the regional and national levels, this book explores the range of opinions within this group, with particular emphasis on race and states' rights. Wheeler insists that the suffragists were motivated primarily by the desire to secure public affirmation of female equality and to protect the interests of women, children, and the poor in the tradition of noblesse oblige in a New South theyperceived as misgoverned by crass and materialistic men.
