| + | I’m curious to what extent women truly believed that they were morally superior to men. They certainly used it to justify women taking a part in activities that were not typically approved of for women. For instance, one of Clara Lanza’s arguments for women working outside the home in clerical positions was that women’s morality would improve the business world. Some women’s rights activists also used that argument for why women should be able to vote. Were they consciously manipulating the rhetoric of the day or did they just naturally assume it to be the truth? -- Taylor Brann | ||
