United States: Woman Senator against women's suffrage

Off Our Backs, Nov 2001 by Manzano, Cad, Manzano, Angie

State Senator Kay O'Connor, a Republican from Kansas, says that women's suffrage is a sign that society doesn't value the family. "I think the 19th Amendment, while it's not an evil in and of itself, is a symptom of something I don't approve of," explained O'Connor. She believes that "the man should be the head of the family" and "the woman should be the heart of the family." "The 19th Amendment is around because men weren't doing their jobs, and I think that's sad," she said.
