I found what Amelia Barr wrote very interesting. She’s not against discontented women in the working class fighting for better wages but rather against women in the political realm. I think she’s saying women are too fickle to make political decisions like decisions of war and that law would be in danger in the hands of women. Another point, I think she tried to make is that when a women steps out of the “domestic sphere” she put herself at risk for being criticized by a man (creating animosity) and Barr believed only women should criticize other women. - Marsha | I found what Amelia Barr wrote very interesting.

| + | I disagree with pretty much everything she has to say but I can totally see the women of her time agreeing with her. She promotes stereotypes which annoys me. She asks if women get what they want and if they are allowed to work as men whether they will be happy. She asks if men's work is less tiresome then women's. Basically, isn't work just work? These are definitely interesting questions. LeAnn Taggart | ||
