Summary "The Progress of the Women's Suffrage Movement" by Eleanor Mildred Sidgwick is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work is a presidential address delivered to the Cambridge Branch of the Conservative and Unionist Women's Franchise Association in 1913. The book discusses the evolution and challenges of the women's suffrage movement, particularly focusing on the setbacks posed by militant groups advocating for women's voting rights. In her address, Sidgwick highlights the significant progress made by the women's suffrage movement over the past fifty years, contrasting it with the current setbacks caused by militant actions that negatively affect public perception. She reflects on the evolution of societal attitudes toward women's suffrage, noting how initial ridicule has shifted to serious consideration of the issue, even among opponents. Sidgwick emphasizes that while the militants may have sparked backlash, the steady work of suffrage organizations and the increasing involvement of educated women in public life will ultimately facilitate broader support for women's voting rights. Through analyzing these dynamics, the book presents an optimistic view of the movement's future, asserting that every effort, even failed attempts to pass legislation, contributes to a larger tide of progress toward suffrage.
