Beschreibung
Henpecked: Winston Churchill and Women's Suffrage. explores the recurrent interactions between Winston Churchill and the women's suffrage movement in Britain. Churchill purposely concealed, under a discursive veil, his complex and shifting perceptions of women's competency to use the franchise. In balancing a public stance that vaguely favored the "principle" of women's suffrage with his, often private, opposition to the movement's legislative efforts, he employed every available rhetorical tool. This book presents a new understanding of his early Parliamentary career, his ability to manipulate public and private discourse, and his complicated stance on women's right to vote. This rhetorical history challenges the view that Winston Churchill was only dissuaded in his support of women's suffrage by the militancy of suffrage activists.
