THE ANTI-SUFFRAGISTS by Charlotte Perkins Gilman: A critique of the anti-suffragists, who opposed women's right to vote, arguing that women are inherently inferior and cannot participate in political decision-making. The essay examines the flawed logic and misogynistic attitudes underlying their position, and challenges the notion that women's exclusion from politics is justified or natural.
