Book Synopsis Woman Suffrage and the Origins of Liberal Feminism in the United States, 1820-1920 by : Suzanne M. Marilley
Book excerpt: In their struggle, these women developed three types of liberal arguments, each predominant during a different phase of the movement. The feminism of equal rights, which called for freedom through equality, emerged during the Jacksonian era to counter those opposed to women's public participation in antislavery reform. The feminism of fear, the defense of women's right to live free from fear of violent injury or death perpetrated particularly by drunken men, flourished after the Civil War.
