Question for the Editor --
  −
I just found my way to your site via Google, and read "Feminism."  I noticed that your editorial policy says that you're not allowing the use of material that isn't accurate. That site says that early feminists were "suffragettes."  The suffragettes were English, in fact -- in the use, the folks who supported the right to vote for women were suffragists, from Woodrow Wilson to good ol' Theodore Roosevelt.  Your writers also have no idea that the term "feminist" at times has been somewhat conservative (hey! surprise!), as when the National Women's Party supported an Equal Rights Amendment while most women opposed it.  In the meantime, in the twentieth century, some Republican women would have been comfortable calling themselves "feminists," from Margaret Chase Smith to Oveta Culp Hobby.  The term has had somewhat varied meanings over the course of the century, and any accurate description should reflect that.  Interested readers could check out Catherine Rymph's Republican Women, published by the very reputable U.North Carolina Press.
