Problem: This week I turn your attention to Chapter 20, The Progressive Era, "Alice Stone Blackwell, Answering Objections to Women's Suffrage (1917)" Read the selection, and then please address the following prompts:
1. What are some of the common themes presented in the objections to Women's Suffrage?
2. What do the objections suggest about the underlying reasons behind the opposition to Women's suffrage?
3. What assumptions about politics, men, women, and the relationships between men and women are embedded in the objections?
4. How does Alice Blackwell respond to those underlying reasons and assumptions?
5. How do we fit the objections and Blackwell's responses into American society during the Progressive Era?
