This draws upon historian Aileen Kraditor's analysis of suffrage arguments, but revises her terms, using the equality argument instead of the "argument from justice" and a difference argument rather than the "argument from expediency." See Aileen S. Kraditor, The Ideas of the Woman Suffrage Movement, 1890-1920, (New York: Columbia University Press, 1965; New York: W.W. Norton, 1981).
