“If particular care and attention is not paid to the ladies, we are determined to foment a rebellion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any laws in which we have no voice or representation.”
― Abigail Adams
So…it went on a long time before 1920. If women are “more prone to bouts of emotionalism”, it’s usually only a couple of days per month, whereas some men can be that aggressive for the whole month. So I do like what Mary Wollstonecraft said about “rational creatures”, a lot better than that.
