influenced by the view of some twentieth-century
feminists that women's position within the family is
one of the central factors determining women's social
position， some historians have underestimated the signi-
（5） ficance of the woman suffrage movement. these histor-
ians contend that nineteenth-century suffragism was less
radical and， hence， less important than， for example， the
moral reform movement or domestic feminism-two
nineteenth-century movements in which women strug-
（10）gled for more power and autonomy within the family.
true， by emphasizing these struggles， such historians
have broadened the conventional view of nineteenth-
century feminism， but they do a historical disservice to
suffragism. nineteenth-century feminists and anti-
（15）feminist alike perceived the suffragists' demand for
enfranchisement as the most radical element in women's
protest， in part because suffragists were demanding
power that was not based on the institution of the
family， women's traditional sphere. when evaluating
（20）nineteenth-century feminism as a social force， contem-
porary historians should consider the perceptions of
actual participants in the historical events.
