论后选举权初期美国妇女的参政困境——基于社会性别视角

On Women's Political Participation Predicament in Early Post Suffrage America——Based on Gender Perspective

获得选举权揭开了美国妇女参与选举政治的序幕。但由于内化了贤妻良母的传统社会性别身份,美国妇女在后选举权初期未能积极参与投票。即使参与投票,她们亦无法只依据自我的社会性别身份而形成统一"投票集团"。因对社会性别平等有着不同理解,各女权组织间分歧严重,这无形中消减了妇女的参政效应。通过社会性别视角,文章着力剖析后选举权初期美国妇女的参政困境。

The winning of suffrage is the prelude of American women’s political participation in electoral politics. However,due to internalizing traditional gender identity,as a group,American women don’t actively cast their votes in different elections in early postsuffrage era. Even if participating in,they can’t form a voting bloc on the basis of gender identity. Moreover,different feminist organizations differ from their perceptions on gender equality from each other,so they are not capable of making a united goal to fight against gender discriminations. Through gender perspective, this paper aims at exploring American women ’s political participation predicaments in early post suffrage America.
