Framing a debate is essential to winning it. To me, framing is the ultimate expression of word choice. By framing you are declaring yourself to have sole ownership of the truth. Your opponent knows nothing of righteousness, at least that is what all others will believe because you have used just the right words to conjure up images aligning you with good and your adversary with evil. If you dictate the terms of the argument, you have created a contract with the people. This contract binds the minds of all who are caught within the frame. No one will be able to destroy it. It is powerful and it is yours. Enjoy it.
Today you will be discovering how the 19th century framed the debate on women's suffrage. This debate was heated and sometimes ugly. It was also recorded for all time in the words of both sides. You will read these words in their original contexts in order to understand just how the battle for women's rights was won. You will also be boiling down the pro- and anti-suffrage message into bullet points that you think were most effective in order to figure out how these women and men framed the issue. Make sure you read carefully; some of these pieces may seem to be for suffrage but really be against it. Support the municipality.
