Meditations on Votes for Women
First Edition
CROTHERS, Samuel. "Meditations on Votes for Women," Boston & New York: Houghton Mifflin, 1914. First edition. Octavo. 81 pages, hardcover, top-edge gilt. Comes in scarce publisher's dust jacket . Some toning and edgewear related to age.. Crothers, a native of Oswego, Illinois, was an essayist and Unitarian clergyman. Crothers' text advocated for men and women activists to use non-violent methods in their pursuit of social justice and women's rights. He argues that women's rights should not be viewed as revolutionary, but rather than women's social equality is a product of a revolution that has already occurred. Crothers's writing attempted to be both persuasive and moderate in tone, e.g. "Though Feministic theories must not be taken too literally, they are yet suggestive of changes that are taking place. The essential thing is that many women are becoming conscious of what some women have always felt, that some of the limitations which have been accepted as natural are in reality only conventional." In overall very good condition and an interesting historical record of arguments made regarding suffrage that did not fit neatly into the pro- or anti- camp.Item #17297
