Mrs. Banks in 'Mary Poppins' epitomizes Victorian anti-suffrage arguments, suggesting women's public activism disrupts domestic duties, portraying women seeking personal freedom as neglectful mothers.
The early suffragists faced challenges including male hysteria and financial constraints. They drew inspiration from Civil War-era women who leveraged their skills to fund campaigns.
Suffragists recognized the importance of financial independence and autonomy, using creative methods like baking and selling to fund their movement, reflecting women's resourcefulness and ingenuity.
The stereotype that men and children can't care for themselves perpetuates the criticism against women's participation in public life, a notion echoed throughout history.
