In 1899, Carrie Chapman Catt, who succeeded Susan B. Anthony as
head of the National American Women Suffrage Association, argued
that it was the "duty" of U.S. women to help lift the inhabitants
of its new island possessions up from "barbarism" to
"civilization," a project that would presumably demonstrate the
capacity of U.S. women for full citizenship and political rights.
Catt, like many suffragists in her day, was well-versed in the
language of empire, and infused the cause of suffrage with
imperialist zeal in public debate. Unlike their predecessors, who
were working for votes for women within the context of slavery and
abolition, the next generation of suffragists argued their case
against the backdrop of the U.S. expansionism into Indian and
Mormon territory at home as well as overseas in the Philippines,
Puerto Rico, and Hawaii. In this book, Allison L. Sneider carefully
examines these simultaneous political movements-woman suffrage and
American imperialism-as inextricably intertwined phenomena,
instructively complicating the histories of both.
