Somewhat difficult to read. Produced by Olaf Voss, Tiffany Vergon, Charles Aldarondo, Charles Franks and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Woman and the Republic" by Helen Kendrick Johnson is a critical examination of the woman-suffrage movement in the United States, likely written in the late 19th century. The text delves into the claims and arguments presented by the foremost advocates of women's voting rights, while also questioning the fundamental principles that underlie these claims. The work seems to aim at analyzing the efficacy and impact of the suffrage movement by contrasting it with historical progress related to women's roles and rights in society. The opening of the book presents an introduction that references the historical context of women's rights, quoting influential figures from earlier women's movements. Johnson argues that while the suffrage movement has been heralded as a force for progress, it may not be as integral to women's advancement as its proponents suggest. She highlights contradictions in the claims made about women's status and power within society, arguing that securing the right to vote does not necessarily equate to true progress or equality. Johnson sets out to explore these themes further, suggesting that the suffrage movement's goals might be more divisive than unifying, as seen in the emergence of anti-suffrage sentiments, and indicates a deeper examination of the societal changes affecting women over the past decades.
