Source one shows Joyce’s opinion so it’s not a solid fact so it might not be reliable as she could be bias to the suffragists. But I believe that the suffragists did help women win the vote by showing they can do it in a calm and peaceful way.
They were supposed to meet the social conventions they were given and excluded from the many rights that the male have. 1.1 Significance of the Issue For a very long time, the compilation of the history bears a big attention on the male, while ignoring the female world and their living conditions. Throughout the human history, women are basically excluded from the political, economic, military, law, art and other fields.

Betty Friedman addresses the reality that fulfilling their traditional maternal roles of raising the children and tending to the household doesn’t satisfy some women, however, they are ashamed of this personal problem, lacking the confidence to enter the male territory where these women feel they may find something more meaningful. Women are limited by the inferiority put upon them by society as well as themselves. Women are kept from growing and learning, “education for women has become so suspect that more drop out of high school and college to marry and have babies…women so insistently confine themselves to one role”(R89).
The court decided in her favor that a woman’s right to abortion fell within the right to privacy, and was protected by the fourteenth amendment (McBride, 2006). This verdict gave women total autonomy and control of the pregnancy during the first trimester and distinct diverse levels of concern for the second and third trimesters, which was considered acceptable only if there is a health risk to the mother.
