Abstract

The rise of democracy was a major preoccupation of the 19th century. The experience of the United States, including its contradictions, exclusions, and inconsistencies, was central to how contemporaries discussed and understood this phenomenon. Though the government was all-male by design, probing questions about the place of women within American democracy emerged and extended across print media, both in and outside activist circles.
