Description
Account of the disagreement between suffragists over the types of methods that should be employed to achieve their goals. Bettina Borrman Wells, of London England, advocates for militant methods to achieve women's suffrage and Harriet Stanton Blatch, of New York, argues for a more conservative approach through legislation.
