America's founding mothers and fathers built gender bias into
American politics. This book examines traditional prejudices
against women's political participation as well as efforts to
overcome these prejudices during a revolutionary era. It inquires
into the shifting male hierarchies that kept some men out of
politics, admitted others to a limited citizenship, and privileged
a few men with leadership authority. It also assesses the impact of
the founders' gender bias on modern American politics. The
gendering of American poltics began as a compromise between
traditional patriarchal ideals that subordinated all women to male
authority and revolutionary norms that recognized women's capacity
for independence, reason, and patriotism. That compromise was
manifested in the doctrine of "republican womanhood" which
perpetuated women's exclusion from citizenship but afforded women
sufficient educational opportunity and family influence to raise
citizens and educate statesmen for the new republic. The gendering
of American politics was concluded by a second compromise. The
founders often expressed a desire to exclude disorderly men from
public life and empower a few heroic men to exercise great
leadership powers, but they generally settled for granting weak
citizenship to most white family men and supporting elite
government by accomplished gentleman legislators.
