Subject and Association Descriptionhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aileen_S._Kraditor:
Aileen S. Kraditor (April 12, 1928 – March 8, 2020) was an American historian who has written a number of works on the history of feminism.
Kraditor was influenced by Betty Friedan, author of The Feminine Mystique. Writing in the mid-1960s, she made the case that to understand the history of women in America it was necessary to look at ideology as well as events. Her The Ideas of the Woman Suffrage Movement (1965) was a pioneering work on the subject of great value to later historians. She noted that there was a gradual shift in the arguments of suffragists from "justice" to "expediency." The 19th-century activists argued that women should be treated equally to men because of justice and natural rights. Later activists stressed that "woman suffrage would benefit society."
