Question

COMPARING ACHIEVEMENTS OF WOMEN IN UNITED KINGDOM AND GERMANY

Answer 1

Answer:

Women’s access to suffrage responded to the dynamics at play in the creation of modern states and the definition of male and female citizenship in the republican and liberal traditions of citizenship. In both these traditions, the new modern subject was from the start a gendered subject: namely, one shaped by symbolically male features, and represented as abstract, disembodied, rational, impartial, and independent. While the liberal tradition ignored sex-specific particularity, the republican one transcended it.5
