The Politics of Reform

One pamphlet entitled Women Do Not Want It! written by Alice Stone Blackwell, and published by the Pennsylvania Women Suffrage Association, dated circa 1914. Blackwell argues that women have always been complicit in their subjugation, citing women's conservative reactions to Vassar College and female education in general. She argues that the suffragist movement must persist despite the indifference or opposition of those who stand to benefit from reform: "Human nature is conservative, and it is fully as conservative in women as in men. The persons who take a strong interest in any reform are generally few."
