Answer 2

Women’s Suffrage came to the fore during the Victorian Era. Women’s Suffrage actively protested to get voting rights for women.

Women’s were refused to vote in political elections from the ancient period. After the arouse of Women’s Suffrage many arguments and contradictions were made to deny the voting rights for women.

Some of them were mentioned below.

• Women are meant to be subordinate to men by nature, by bible and by god.
• Politics was none of Women’s business. They knew nothing and they should know nothing about politics.
• Women were made for private life where men were made to public life.
• Voting rights should be given for the people or men who fight in war so no women have rights to vote as they were not participated in war.
• Giving vote rights to women would lead to give them more power.
