About this book
Women's Suffrage: A Short History of a Great Movement is a book by Millicent Garrett Fawcett, who is named as president of the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies. The text reports a contention that the Reform Act of 1832, by substituting the words "male person" in lieu of the word "man" in the earlier Acts, first placed upon the women of this country the burden of a statutory disability. The text says that in 1850 Lord Brougham's Act was passed, which enacted that in all Acts of Parliament words importing the masculine gender shall be deemed to include females unless the contrary is expressly provided.
The text says many ardent suffragists, probably the majority of them, are opposed to the use of physical violence as a means of obtaining political justice. The text says that women in this country, as all criminal statistics prove, are about nine times more law-abiding than men.
