What were the main arguments for women’s suffrage?

Arguments in support of suffrage were grounded in women’s rights:

• Natural rights—those who are affected by laws should have a say in making them.
• No taxation without representation—women are wage workers and pay taxes.
• Legislation will be more moral, educational and humane—women will clean up politics and government.
