| + | I found the quotation of Congressman Bayne very interesting. It did not initially sit well with me. I first felt that his view on women was just as misogynistic-ally characteristic of the time. But after a closer look, I agree with Brown, who says that it is impossible to know Bayne's true meaning/intent when talking about women's "right to stay home". But perhaps he was purposely fighting for a middle ground in order to help out women, and especially black women. By using this terminology, it could have been possible for him to trick or sway some narrow-minded white congressmen into the belief that women also share the inherent right of suffrage. --Jackie Reed | ||
