The North American Review, "Woman in Politics" by Dr. William A. Hammond, 1883-08

The author argues that women belong in the home and regards the asserters of womens rights as a set of impracticable fanatics. Dr. Hammond states, "nothing could be more derogatory to the true dignity of woman race, than the dragging of her from the honorable position which she now occupies and for which her mental and physical peculiarities so eminently fit her," he continues that, "those jobs in which force of intellect, a power of disinterested judgment, and enlarged views of public policy are * required; must ever continue to be occupied by man."
