An argument made by some women suffragists was that women cared more than men about social issues such as poverty, education, and public health.
Women suffragists believed that women, as mothers and caretakers, had a unique perspective on issues that affected families and communities. They argued that women's experiences and perspectives were necessary to address social issues such as poverty, education, and public health, and that giving women the right to vote would allow them to have a greater impact on these issues. They believed that women's participation in government would lead to more progressive policies that would benefit society as a whole.
