Seven Suffragist Men<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s often forgotten that the fight for women\u2019s suffrage wasn\u2019t fought only by females. Among some of the \u00a0most significant suffragists were men who offered much to the cause.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Turning Point Suffragist Online Memorial<\/a>\u00a0has an entry about seven such male suffragists.<\/p>\n

As Lauriane Lebrun suggests in the opening of the above article, men were vital allies in the fight for the vote. Not only did they have the political clout to exact change, they had the finance to support a campaign. Two key ingredients in persuading the men in power to take notice and change their stance on the issue of Women\u2019s suffrage.<\/p>\n

Lebrun has a focus on Male suffragists in the United States. They include members of congress and people more often associated with the campaign to abolish slavery.<\/p>\n

For an introduction to male suffragists in the United Kingdom, try this page of the\u00a0parliament website<\/a>\u00a0as it provides a very good introduction to the role of some men in the fight for the vote.
